Almost. Fortunately for you, it's enough of a difference to give it a pass; otherwise, you'd be hearing from my Solicitor. ;-)

My little spotted cat does not meow, he raows.

So my girlfriend got me a similar plate for my big spotted cat!

Here is a picture of the plate being inspected before it goes on the Jag.

Nice kitty and cool plate. I don't want to throw this thread off the track but ...

We took our granddaughter to the Tucson Zoo last week and saw this spotted black Jaguar. Way cool ...

Default Black Jaguar

Great picture!

For years I always thought black jaguars (and leopards) were of a solid black color. I only recently learned that the melanistic ones (black) have rosettes as well - they generally just aren't so obvious. Your picture is a perfect illustration of this.

I really wanted a Blue '05, and would have gotten "BLUES CAT" being in Chicagoland, known for 12-bar blues music (but I do have an interest in classic jazz).


The term "CAT" is American slang coined by musicians and is a nice pun on Jaguar ! The Leaper license plate frame just beneath is a hint to those that my not "get it".

My XK8 sports "Quik Cat" plates. In the State of Nebraska, they want an explanation to go with the custom plate request. In the online form section, I simply noted "The speedometer goes to 170 mph. 'Nuff said." Approved!

Here's mine.. not super creative but hey, XK 8 is XK 8. Surprised it hadn't been taken yet as I only got it last summer. I chose the Rt 66 plates because of the black lettering/color scheme.. liked it better than the standard fire engine red letters with blue/white background on my car.

Sorry I couldn't show more of her.. she's all wrapped up for winter still. Attached a pic from the past summer so you could at least get a better look at the front.

Because of some idiotic law, we're supposed to have front plates as well here. I'm protesting until I get a ticket...

This one looks more or less like a standard Ontario plate, but any fans of Spinal Tap might be amused.

I had thought of this one, but not sure it would pass. It would be one readable from the rear view mirror, but I do not have a front license plate either, and when I do get around to it, I am going to install the flip down retractable hidden license plate bracket. I will always have the front retracted away under the nose, but if I start to get pulled over, I will flip the switch and deploy the license plate. Anyways here is the plate.

'X35 lARO'

I was disappointed to find that LEAPER was already taken in NJ, but I thought to myself "well this is your 2nd Jag.."

LEAPER2 was available so I grabbed it.

It seemed really clever when I ordered it.

Unfortunately I've met about 4 people who understand it, one of whom was a 12 year old boy!

I actually had someone at work meekly ask if I ever had Leprosy or something (you can't make this stuff up).

Had a Urologist client that had 2PEZCME plates. Had a doctor that had OPENWYD plates. I asked if he was a Dentist or a Gynecologist. He said unfortunately he was a Dentist!

Can't take credit for it as I saw it on a Aston but my avatar says it all. It confuses lots of teens who pull up behind me and ask the passenger who Enzo is.

I'm surprised no one has taken "GREMLINS" yet . . . or don't we want everyone else
to know!

Speaking of Aston Martins, a friend saw ISNOJAG on a DB7. I didn't know about this thread so posted a pic of it elsewhere a few months ago.

I've thought about a vanity plate for my black XK8 coupe but no great inspiration has yet lept out at me. If I do come up with something, I will at the same time change to the optional black plates as the white reflectirized California plate looks pretty bad on the back of my black cat.

California requires front plates. So far, I have not run one but must be careful not to park anywhere with meter maids on duty. I might try to come up with some marginally legal way to tuck it down in the spoiler mouth as others here have done. .
