I couldn't believe my eyes this evening while driving home from work.
Passing me in the opposite direction was a 54 reg S Type Jaguar with blue illuminated washer jets! What inspires anyone to do this to a Jaguar?

I asked myself the same question when I was at a Jaguar club meeting a few months ago.
One of the members cars had a blue flashing LED for each door.
Each was at the bottom of the glass near the handle.
Some sort of security warning?

If ever one of our increasingly rare traffic patrol crews spot it...:-)

When I had a Jaguar with a leaper (big cat jumping off bonnet), I always had it in the back of my mind to fit two red LEDs into the eye sockets. That would have got a few funny looks! I was a good few years younger then, so it's probably fortunate that I never got round to it. It would have been the equivalent of Riley's illuminated badge. Should that be Rileys' illuminated badges?
No, I won't go and get blue LEDs for my washer jets. Not on the Mini, the VR-4, or the current Jag (which doesn't have a leaper either).

"Riley's illuminated badge."
Wolseley, I think.
