I have had many comments from people about my Jag XJ6. More often, after
they know it's my car and they know me. I think one thing that keeps people
from cheering at guys in Jags is people think that we that drive the kittys
are snooty and unapprochable. I know that alot of new Jag drivers will not
exchange the LBC wave. Those are the status drivers not the ones in love
with the marque.
But the car I got the most noticed in was the yellow Mini. I think people
beleive drivers of Triumphs, MG's and etc are more friendly and that's why
they talk to us.
Cheers,
Mike Thompson
