What's the difference between a Jaguar and a Daimler?
Discussion
Hey, now it's making a bit sense to me.
I think there might be a bit confusion and mix-up between me 'a new member to this forum' and a 'previous member' who I presume was a 'troll'?
I had this comment on a different Thread section of PistonHeads:-
Bit off topic and hope not to put a dampener on someone who is potentially a new member but your Log-in might cause you a few problems (if it hasn’t already) on this site.
A while ago there was a troll on the site who caused more than a few problems and who ended up getting banned. His log in was Bruciebabe and BrucieBabe (he had 2 iirc). Might I suggest a disclaimer in your profile or a quick name change to avoid people jumping to the wrong conclusions? He really did upset a fair few and memories can be long and the tenor of your posts misinterpreted based on old prejudices.
Well lads this wasn't me. I'm not here to spoil anyone’s fun, just to get involved in this endless lively banter...
Can't change the name, as it's been a trademark for years.
Have fun!

Wow, now that is one hell of a pimp mobile!
I'd have to be "smoked" up to the hill and wearing flairs and a kipper tie to drive that thing! Probably taken from the film set of Starsky & Hutch - ha, ha...
Hey lads, just found some more info you might be interested in:-
Jaguar (and British Leyland)
Gottlieb Daimler was born in Struttgart in 1834. After studying at the Struttgart Polytechnic he travelled to Manchester where he worked with Joseph Whitworth.
"In 1960 the Daimler name was sold to Jaguar. In a classic case of badge engineering the name was subsequently used for more luxurious Jaguar models, eg. Daimler Double Six Vanden Plas for a version of the XJ 12. Apart from the badge, these were distinguishable from the Jaguars by the scallops on the top edge of the grille."
God, now it's all making sense why the Daimler has the edge. Gottlieb Daimler was born in Struttgart and so added that great 'German' touch of automobile quality - the finest in the world.
Didn't British Leyland go bust?
