dalmarshall Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 You could have had your new jag converted in 1980 with a Renault 5 tailgate and vents for just £6500 ..........I wonder why it didn't take off??
Admin Vista Posted October 16, 2015 Author Admin Report Posted October 16, 2015 Or your DB5 (OMG how much value has that car lost??) Or Rolls Royce (This one apparently commissioned by John Entwistle, see link) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2398891/John-Entwistles-Rolls-Royce-customised-carry-Irish-wolfhounds-12k.html
PeteRS8084 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 It's funny I was thinking about jag estates. I used to get one of my jags serviced in ash near aldershot. Green racing, a jag, tvr and other type specialist. They used to have some weird and lovely stuff on the second floor. And once I saw a xjs estate, probably one of one! It was hideous lol.
PeteRS8084 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 OMG, I just Google it and thee was more than 1! In fact quite a few, how some people spend their hard earned!

What! That's a crime, a French part on a jag. What ever next.
Admin Vista Posted October 16, 2015 Author Admin Report Posted October 16, 2015 Yeah the XJS estate was coach built by a company called Lynx (I think)
PeteRS8084 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 There are some truly bad estates or coach built conversions, just Google (images) estate conversions...........and wear a welding mask to help save your retinas! Good what we're they thinking!
dalmarshall Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 And it'd still look hideous WITHOUT the tailgate!!
accord83 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 Someone looked at the BMW X6 and said that cannot be made uglier, Ssangyong said, "Bet we can, let's stick a dormer conversion on the back." Don't google the Pontiac Aztek if the Ssangyong offends. 1
Admin Vista Posted October 16, 2015 Author Admin Report Posted October 16, 2015 Why would you do this to an Elan? Or this to a 944
PeteRS8084 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 I guess that the technology in glasses and contact lenses has been much improved since the 60s, 70s end early 80s. And that's why shooting brakes like the new jag xf and mercs actually look like a car you would drive without a paper bag on your head. I have only had a couple of estates. 1. Ford mondeo St 24 2. Ford mondeo St 200 (Never saw another while I had it!)
dalmarshall Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 The Porsche looks alright.....ish 1

Ford mondeo St 200 (Never saw another while I had it!) I saw one of the CLS shooting brakes in a Mercedes showroom when they first came out. I thought it looked great then but somehow it looks out of proportion in this shot
PeteRS8084 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 If someone said Pete have this merc shooting brake I would not say no! That's because you never look a gift horse in the mouth, unless it's a Aston Martin or lotus or porsche or jag or mustang or corvette or any other really nice normal car that has had some sort of hideous coach built conversion carried out on it! Picky aren't I!
colr6 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 Never say no to anything free Pete if you don't like it move it on or break it up for bits win win win.theres definitely no northerner in you mate!
Leo Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 Never say no to anything free Pete if you don't like it move it on or break it up for bits win win win.theres definitely no northerner in you mate! And I'll bet he doesn't want any "northerner" in him either.
PeteRS8084 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 Leo you read my mind and typed it quicker than I could! 1
colr6 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 He will never learn, must get paid to much, could have been a plumber in a previous life! 2
2512pf Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 plumbers don't earn as much as coppers ,teachers,or pimps
Leo Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 plumbers don't earn as much as coppers ,teachers,or pimps It was my ambition to be pimp, but it wasn't to be.
accord83 Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 So a moonlighting copper teaching pimps should be minted, (or vice squad as we called it) 1
Danish Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 So a moonlighting copper teaching pimps plumbing should be minted, (or vice squad as we called it) Fixed that for you
accord83 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Posted October 17, 2015 Plumbing pimps? Wouldn't that be Gynaecology? 1
