Favorite Comment: Fixer dono1 says, “This design is loaded with options.
Option #1- Give those elbows a quarter-turn upward, insert an 18″ length of pipe in each, add a couple of flags and voilà – instant embassy car.
Option #2- Drill holes in the top of the cross member and it’s a mobile flute.
Option #3- Aim the elbows forward, insert a four-foot pipe in each and you have the perfect vehicle for corralling those errant shopping carts everyone’s talking about these days.”

  1. Paddy says:

    With the green Jag and the yellow pipe, it looks like a John Deere! “Nothing runs like a Jag!”

    PS: FIRST!

  2. Badgirl says:

    Paddy – Oh epic snap

  3. Pat says:

    Not cool unless it’s make of solid gold.

  4. Neil says:

    I think if you were to make a solid gold bumper you could come up with a better shape than PVC pipe.

  5. Fireman says:

    Wow, thats sad… epic fail…

  6. b. says:

    What does the back bumper look like?

  7. Jim Heckel says:

    Oh, for pete’s sake…if you can afford a Jag, you can afford a real bumper. Lazy!

  8. Badgirl says:

    I would think if you have a solid gold bumper, you better have 24/7 security for your car or it will be gonzo.

  9. Charlene says:

    It is sad, but: it’s really hard to find spare parts for older Jags, especially if you don’t live anywhere near a very large city (think London or New York). This may have been a temporary kludge used until the part came in. I’ve seen similar things done with Jags and ARs, especially pre-1980 models.

  10. dono1 says:

    The only logical answer is that the Jag belongs to Homer D. Poe.

  11. Steaming Pile says:

    #8 – That’s like an XJ6, which are a dime a dozen, even in decent shape. There are lots of them on eBay for $3k-$5k.

  12. gzuckier says:

    i like it…. not for a jag, but for the average clunker where the stock bumper costs hundreds of dollars and provides no protection, just a target for hundreds of dollars…. i’ve seen folks hang a big chunk of wood for a bumper, but that’s heavy. this is cheap resilieng and light, and not much worse than the stock bumper.

    plus you could fill it with red water or something then in a crash scare the hell out of the other guy by pretending that your car is bleeding to death.

  13. Yeah, but... says:

    …and that made me LOL even more than the picture.

  14. Midnight says:

    Look like he’s driven into a London Underground train and the hand rail has lodged itself into the place of the bumper, but honestly I like it, however I can also see skateboarders taking advantage of it!

    Dono – you are a freaking genius
    At 40 MPH you get “Ode to Joy”
    At 60 MPH you get Vivaldi’s Concerto in F Major and
    At 80 MPH you get “Flight of the Bumblebee”

  17. dono1 says:

    At 90 MPH you get “Police Siren”

  18. Badgirl says:

    Amen brother.

  19. Fixit says:

    Dono shoots and…SCORES!

  20. Paddy says:

    Option #4: Turn the elbows up a quarter turn, add two 8 foot lengths of pipe, two more elbows facing in, and another pipe connecting them, and you have a telegraph pole for the tram wires. Then it’s a Jag-wire!

    @Badgirl
    I think I luv you too!

  21. Badgirl says:

    Great minds my friend, great minds.

  22. notanengineer says:

    If this car is parked in front of “the rusty bumper” you’ll realize that the world is doomed… :-D

  23. Nancy says:

    Yes, plumbers make a crap-load of money.

  24. Amethyst42 says:

    This immediately reminded me of the grab-bar from Lego Batman, which I am currently playing.

  25. steve02169 says:

    I keep thinking it’s really an Erector Set frame with a Jag body plopped on top. We’ve all got what the fix was backwards.

  26. JH says:

    Perhaps the rear bumper’s solid gold? This way you get protective camouflage, whilst maintaining the spoiler effect a massive heavy gold bumper has on the rear wheels.

  27. face says:

    @gzuckier
    i laughed good

  28. whinger says:

    It’s probably just a skaters Jag. I think its a rail for grinding on, I’ve seen it on a few cars which have been ‘pimped’ on tv. The rail tends to be electronically controlled and can be extended out when you want to play skateboards – first one to get the Jaguar emblem in your eye wins!

  29. ERAL says:

    It’s okay… because he drives a “Jaaaaagggg”

  30. jovino says:

    I thought I’d chime in since there seems to be a bit of confusion here…

    The photo was taken in San Francisco, CA. The jag is green and the pipe appears gold because of the street lights… but it is, indeed, PVC pipe. Although, it would have been MUCH better if it WAS gold! :)
