[tnmtemerity]

I hope the shop didn't charge you for all 12 cylinders...

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

this car is crushed gone. i had it running i drove it another 120,000 miles until it just died on me

[rurmundo]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE JAGUAR NOOOOOOO<:-_ _ _ _ _(

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

@rurmundo yep it's gone it's replacement is a Black 2000 SABLE GS :)

[Rjjr510]

I'm pretty sure they didn't make Vanden plas XJ12..Vanden plas only came with a straight 6, but nice interior still looks fresh

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

@Rjjr510 There is a such thing as XJ12 VDP its just called the XJ12 :)

[Rjjr510]

@1993MercuryCougarXR7 Good stuff, I didn't know they labeled it as that. I'm getting my video posted right now.

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

@Rjjr510 alright cool looking forward to seeing it and im about to buy me another jag as soon as i get things with college and what not toghter...im just sooo busy that i barely have time to drive it.

[facotime]

I've always wanted to get a jaguar,u got a good car my friend,you should post the engine thats in it now that would be rad

[facotime]

Good man, thats rad that you saved a jaguar xj12

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

@facotime right now it has a supercharged XJR engine in there for the time being until i can find a V12

[sideslide23]

wow thats a very nice car for 11 years old.

[fox19100]

I have this car. Its sick. The engine sounds so smooth. The only problems are that the sunroof doesnt work and people steal my hood ornament and then its $300 to get a new one (probably buying it right back from the thief too)

[METALMAN4Wii]

Wow a fuel pump what's that $50.00 and they were going to destroy a once $73.000 car ? just retarded, good job man, also I can tell your from the Massachusetts area lol.......!

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

@METALMAN4Wii i still have the car and this video was made in hesperia california

[sarnakaren]

u said xj12 yet its a straight line 6 cylinder engine whats up with that? i know all these cars as my dad was all he drove and is all i drive is jaguars.

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

its a dummy straight six until i can find a V12

[Xeniusonarthas]

ever finish this car? Im thinking of buying a 97 x300 4.0 and think the car is sooo pimp....

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

@Xeniusonarthas shes being finished up she has the modern 1999 XJR SC V8 but i have bits and pieces to finish up

[moagnor]

Maybe the photo director from NYPD Blue wants to hire you as a photographer? :)

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

what are you trying to say man

[Draedra]

He's saying that you should practice on holding your camera so that you might see something.

Perhaps he also reffered to the cops series where they shoot on location work with a camera.

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

@Draedra o..........k

[migueldefender]

Hi,

do you know in waht Graveyard you Jag is? I'm very interested in buying some parts.

My best regards,

Miguel

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

british auto recyclers in california

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

it was traded in for clunker program due to some idiot in my family but i went to the junkyard and retrieved it by the skin off my hands

[s54bmw]

Also, you mention that it was used in a video? What video???

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

the movie invasion starrring nicole kidman

[s54bmw]

How do you save a seized engine? I want to save the other clunker jaguars out there!

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

take apart the motor and hammer away at the liquid glass and i saved a 1995 Jaguar XJ6 Clunker rencently

[s54bmw]

Cool. I will have to remember that. Do they sell you the clunkers? or did they give them to you?

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

i had a hard time getting them i went thru so much shit to get them

[JELH]

It's a damn shame that Obama killed it... Poor Jaguar. :-(

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

he can suck my fat cock for killing my beloved kitten

[anster89]

sexy car man. except for the defaults. all fixed with a bit of dough and she will be runnin like a cat in not time :P

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

she was now shes a soda can in my hand my dumb father traded it in for a new range rover sport when the clunker program was going on. i recently saved a 1995 jag tho that was a clunker

[beetlevwbug]

hi m8 can i just say it is not a xj12 as the xj12 is a v12 not strat 6 thanks

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

not to be rude or anyhting but i fucking knew that i made a mistake in the video and its something i cannot change did u not read the note in the video about 5 people told me that i know its a straight 6. now its a newer jag engine in there

[valleyfever]

This is a very beautiful and classy car.

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

thanks!

[irongoxi]

I hope someday I will buy a Jaguar, (E Type or XJS with the V12 engine) great videos my friend

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

my jag is getting worked on out and i have lots of parts for it im gonna have it towed back to my house so i can do the work myself and give it to my wife.

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

Jag V12 Engines Eletrical Issues lead to fired or a fully cooked cat

[irongoxi]

thank you for the info, I was planning for the future a series 3 E-Type or an early series XJS, but anyway, maybe in some years I could save enough money for a 1999-2002 XJR or a 2003-2004 XKR.

Another car I love is the 1969-1970 Mustang Mach 1 with Cleveland or Cobra Jet engine, and also the Cougar Eliminator of the same generation

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

i always wanted to get my hands on a XJR but i did a wrecked one that was on the side it lot drove i recently just parted it out it was a 1998 Carnival Red Metallic its now stacked up on top of another jag in my jaguar salvage yard.

[irongoxi]

I love Jaguars!!! and also Fords, I I grew up in that car!!! I hope to have this car many more years

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

grew up in what car? jags are pretty cool machines

[irongoxi]

sorry, my mistake, I grew up in the Thunderbird that I purchased from my dad, but since I was a kid I love Jaguars too

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

ohh i wish i still could find my dads old 1989 LS

[irongoxi]

don't worry, you will find a better one...

LONG LIVE FORD V8 MUSCLE!!!

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

i think i fell in love with the New Edge 199-2002 Cougars

[irongoxi]

I still prefer the torque of an old V8 engine and the traditional RWD for drifting, besides the burnout are much more funny

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

either i get a new edge cougar or a 1990 XJ6 i had my eye on

[DerAdventurer]

Awesome video. Incredible automobile. Thanks for sharing the video.

;)

Despite the money required to 'stand up' this vehicle, do you think it would be very hard or easy to fix - in working?

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

im wating for another reply from the jaguar graveyard in california to see what they can do

[blazerlover25]

that car could be fixed way cheaper than 14 grand if all it needed was an engine just swap engines i could get that car lookin nice for 8 grand and runnin nice too sad to see it go to a junkyard though

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

it needed waay more than an engine dude it needed alot of work done to it i mean loads of work stuff i didnt know was wrong

[j0hnnyw987]

Cool .I have some jaguar burnout shit on my profile if you want to check it out. Same driver of the mercury cougar

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

i dont have my jag nemore (crys)

[Onry1]

It's not a V12 its a 4.0 XJ6 it has it stamped on the valve cover?

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

i know that i made a mistake thinkin of my old 96

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

i swapped my V12 had issues so i put the 4.0 V6 in

[V8Jagnut]

nice ford you have there. its a XJ6 if it has 6 cyl engine in it.

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

aye thank you! i miss the car it had the V12 until somthing tragic happened.

[V8Jagnut]

same as my 1977 xj12 so it got a 5L V8

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

i miss this car alot she resides in the jaguar graveyard located in california for parts :( sniffles

[LukeXgamer]

Strange because I can tell the Jaguar's V6 isn't made by Jaguar because it sucks. Only the V8s and the 3.0D engines are the best.

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

Update!!: As of febuary 13th 2009 Jessy has suffered from 2 blowheadgaskets and a bad fuel pump and bad fuel in the system wich seize her up she needed $14,000 worth of work done to her and i couldn't pay the amount to get her fixed so she got sent to the Jaguar Graveyard Located In California i will miss this car alot and would like to have another :( why do bad things happen to good people

[walford2s]

wow how did that happen.. is it working and running agian?

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

it was my granmoms car it had 34,000 miles on it then she let my cousin borrow it for a year and he didnt take care of it like he should have onc he gave it back. it never moved it i started once a day and let it idle then i would shut it off 5 weeks later i went to go start the jag it wouldnt start comes to findout that the headgasket is blown

[walford2s]

kool

[walford2s]

yo whats up man my name is eric and i have a jaguar xj6 1996... i just got done lookn at your video on your xj12. i love that car. ive had mine for over 2years and i love it. i mean eveytime i wash it up and got it lookn clean i turns heads..lol but yea if you got any questions for me about my jag just hit me up and let me know. cuz we are part of the jag family now!!! lol but anyway hit me up sumtimes see ya man...

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

mine just blew a headgasket 1,000 to get it fixed

[mysticalmel999]

Nice Jaguar, but its an aj16 inline 6 engine, not a 6.0 v12, as in the xj12

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

yea i know its an AJ6 im a jaguar tech i didnt realize that i said XJ12 until a day after i recorded it but im planning to do an XJ12 swap

[mysticalmel999]

The 4L aj16 is widely acknowledged as the best jaguar engine.

XJ12 models in the x300 shape are very rare in the UK.

Enjoy your jaguar, they are amazing cars when they're well sorted!

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

i know i understand that all im a jaguar tech i know i will enjoy my jaguar thank you for the comment have a blessed day

[mysticalmel999]

Nice Jaguar mate, but its an AJ16 4.0 inline 6,not an XJ12

[JungleListSoldier]

Are you sure it is a 1997 XJ12? 1996 was the last year of the twelve cylinder XJ in the US.

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

it's a car in the 2007 movie the invasion

[JungleListSoldier]

How can it be a 1997 XJ12 in the US market? Unless it was a grey market import. 1996 was the last year Jaguar sold the XJ12 in the US.

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

i think it was

[1969MustangMACH1]

why is this your last video for so long?

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

i have a kid to take care of and im having computer problems someone messed up my comp and i have pop-ups non stop

[Roushfan5]

Lucky girlfriend.

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

hahaha :) yea she is

[makaveli087]

Thats a gorgeous Jag. and at the end-that Mitsushitti is not a Chrysler, doesnt have anything to do with Chrysler.  =0) 5 Stars

[1993MercuryCougarXR7]

i know that mitsubishi diamante doesnt have anything to do with chrysler i wasnt thinking right when i said that but thanks the jag is now running and about to be restored.

[MitsuEclipse06]
