I went to a zoo in Tenerife when I was little and saw two of them shagging whilst another one took a dump in their water trough.

George Bush has a car. He's a complete tosser. America is evil and is concealing the truth about 9/11 and Elvis. The Israelis and PMA are in on it too. JPA will bring down the evil, low-flying, arrogant, capitalist, jaguar sh1tting pigdogs. Vive La France!

My ultimate car is still a British Racing Green Mk2 cat - 2.8 - with spoked wheels; leather trim of course and the old walnut dash.

Because I can't have one I drive a Honda Euro (wat its called in Oz) - think its a Honda R in UK - six speed manual.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh -

"In a jungle where the ground was dirty and muddy there lived an animal who had no spots or a name. He wanted a name very badly. One day there was a man named Richard who had a car named jaguar and drove fast, just like the animal did. WHen the car stopped, it splashed mud all over the animal. The animal liked the way he looked with spots on his body, but he ran after the car to tell the man that he should be more careful. The jaguar found that he could run as fast as the car! He decided to call himself a jaguar just like the car and he kept the spots too! That is how the jaguar got his spots and his name."

Jaguar story

NFL.com wire reports

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars added two veteran wide receivers, signing unrestricted free agents Troy Edwards and Randy Hymes.

The signings come eight days after Jimmy Smith retired.

Edwards played for the Jaguars in 2003 and 2004, and played in three games for the Lions in 2005. In 92 NFL games, including three seasons with Pittsburgh (1999-2001) and one with St. Louis (2002), the 5-foot-10, 185-pound Edwards has 203 receptions for 2,404 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Hymes spent all five of his seasons in Baltimore after the Ravens originally signed him as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2002. The 6-3, 211-pound Hymes played in all 16 games a year ago, with three starts, 11 catches for 132 yards and two scores. In 37 career games, Hymes has caught 43 passes for 578 yards and four touchdowns.

Last week, Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said the team wouldn't sign a veteran receiver to replace Smith.

"Our approach will be to develop the guys that we have and we have some young talent at that position," Del Rio said. "I remain very confident in the guys that we have that they're going to be able to help us be real effective."

Obsolescent, sluggish performance, overweight and with limited power - and that's just the operators.
