    Nothing makes you want to drive a jag off a cliff like spending 5 days in a jag. When the time comes, you’ll be delighted.

    Everyone who watches this channel has seen these kind of projects fail. We've seen, or had, that one project that languishes for years, eventually getting sent off to the scrap yard. You got this one to a point where it will have one last grand adventure. Outstanding job. Best of luck, can't wait for the next video.

    As an Alaskan, and a big fan of yours, I'm sorry that I missed you at the event this year. I wish I'd have found your channel sooner. Your videos on VinWiki are my favorites.

    For the Union Flag; your T-shirt is the modern flag, the reference photo on the phone you used for the paint is the original 1606 one! Play spot the difference...
    (technically, the answer is Northern Ireland)

    Cool Jag and planned adventure! Don't forget to add the Irish component (Cross of St. Patrick) to your Union Jack paint scheme to bring the flag appearance up to date.

  • @tony66au
    @tony66au 2 роки тому +1

    Its a surprisingly good body for an S II L but........
    It's a Series 2 Jagwah with a SB Chev in it, the electrics alone make it a dicey proposition.
    It will run and drive nicely, it looks really good and like a lot of fun but it is what it is, a Driveway stain made good for one last adventure even though the body and underside looks fantastic *Sniff*
    If you want to hate on Jag destruction go watch Hammond destroy a 420G on whoops at a BmX type track....

    Hey John congratulations on the Channel. I have enjoyed your stories since I seen this can be red. Lmao . Thank you for sharing. I seen this car take it's Swan Dive off of the cliff. I must say it was most epic. So far my favorite car stories from you are the Whittington bros. / The six wheel F1 car my all time favorite F1 type cars . My #1 favorite stories is the Ford vs Ferrari. The 918 story is most excellent 👌 as well. I look forward to seeing more of your epic adventur es . Thank you zg

    Nice window tint. I’ll be one of those dudes saying that shell isn’t rusty enough to launch into the Alaskan sky. Edit, finding video of this cars actual destruction was actually shockingly difficult after all this buildup.

    B.L jags r like playing russian roulette , they r either excellent or terrible. in the u.k now its generally ok as the bad ones have all been round the banger track and r now unrecogniseable and barely moving ,and the ones still going on the road r good

  • @andrewmcewan8081
