You cant use Jaguar V12 HE engines because they have heads cast and Made in India These engines drop valve seats...oder pre HE from.BL are much better

Hi George, Just looked at the video again. My XJ6 is 42 today. It received a WOF and Registration today too. Keep smiling and catch you later.

th-cam.com/video/iyKITGtSYDU/w-d-xo.html More info on the new MG3 Jerry Pan

My bet is it will get a good crash rating. Please note the Australian models are different to the NZ model. You get one with a white interior, NZ one are all black. So there may be more differents. There are two models and the specification are different. The range topping Essence has more safety features. The Essence getting thing like 360° Camera, LED Headlights, Key-less Entry, Electric Auto Fold Side Mirrors with Heating Only the Essence gets LED Head light, LED. A lot better at night. Enjoy the drive George

Hey George, I'm from QLD Australia and am looking at getting the all new mg3! I was wondering if you thought the safety features were okay? Or the tech in it, did it work well? As well as interior design!

I enjoyed this, thanks for sharing it.

Spotted the Lycoming Special a Couple of times

Nice video. Good to see some more kiwis covering it. What kind of range did you get?

Great video. Well done.

Grat video. Quality is getting really good. Keep up the good work.

Yes, what a great trip. Love the cool cars!!

Great video, loved the travel and car content!

My Grandfather James Cathcart leased the Hollies farm from about 1912 till August 1918 when he was called up inlisted to serve in the war He then purchased The property in Clifford Road where I grew up My aunty Vedris was born there

Great video!. What year was the footage in the video from?

We used run [on foot] cross country up there in the late 70s, No Bowes Crescent houses and growth up to the edge of the road. You could still see the white line up near the top corner.

Great Video!

Where abouts was the TERRACE JAIL

Good to here from you. Hope u enjoy the Newlands Bady farm murder's film. Where do you live? 😀

Well done George, thats the fastest I've ever seen you move and I've known you about thirty years lol.

Where in Newlands was the house?

wow

I’ve been away for awhile. Whats the new building opposite J’ville rly station? 😳

It’s hard enough for some drivers to manoeuvre a car around the back lots of J’ville. Doing it in a 12m, full height, tag-axle bus…..RESPECT! 👍🥂🍾

I appreciate this very much.

The promotional was produced when Jaguars looked like Jaguars and not the same cookie cutter design that haunts all the luxury carmakers today. The video also depicts an England that doesn't exist anymore and is presented in a way that would be considered racist today. Nevertheless, it's a breath of fresh air to listen to the narrator go on about merry old England, which has now been overrun by muslims and third world migrants.

Hello George. Thank you for this very interesting video, well done. A couple of points - the area where John Tuhi was buried at Karori is Anglican, not Catholic. Also, William Bannister was buried in Bolton Street Cemetery, with his wife Mary who died in 1856, and many other family members. Their grave still exists and there is a good photo of it on the Friends of Bolton Street Cemetery website.

Good on ya George.

What year - was this ?

Ur voice is very similar to mike & mal - the leylands brothers that travelled around Australia mayb in the early 60"s in Australia I've just come across ur channel as just got back from Wellington for the 1st time loved nz but needed more days there thanks for sharing 👍🇳🇿

Great but morbid story love the history u give us thanks for sharing

Boring, no noise, no gears, no soul. Handles like crap, and it's nowhere near as much fun as a petrol hot hatch.

Its OK, we missed :-)

What happened with the bus George! I take it you're okay

O Sorry heb de afmetingen gezien einde film bedankt

Jammer geen afmetingen maten erbij

I think your references to the Motorway are a bit incomplete. I think it must have been in the early 1960's when My grandfather, driving his Morris minor at the top of the Ngauranga gorge, mistook the new construction, for an open unsealed road. So we must have been one of the first private cars to have driven the Johnsonville BYPASS. That bypass is now a part of SHW#1. Of course I recall the Tip-Top factory while it was in operation.

Still popular cars.

Thanks for this video. My mother was a foundation pupil of Onslow College. She used to live in a house at the bottom of Wanaka Street. Sadly, this house burned down in about 2000. (Thankfully, there was no one in it at the time, except maybe squatters, who probably started the fire.) The fire actually made the front page of The Evening Post when it happened. The Wanaka Street property was never rebuilt. Initially, it became a park, but now the new Johnsonville Community Centre stands on it. I don't live in Johnsonville myself, but when I was little (and living in Linden), my parents and I used to visit my maternal grandparents in Wanaka Street. Or sometimes it was just my mother and I. Think I remember that Tip Top factory. Can also remember my mother and I shopping at the J Mall. Because my mother didn't like driving in the city, she would sometimes take the car to Johnsonville and we'd get the train into town when we visited my dad's office. I used to love that. Some years ago (now living in Miramar), I took a round trip on the train to Johnsonville and back. Still loved it. (I did spend a couple of hours in J'ville before returning to town.)

Working for WRC Water Supply I spent a fair amount of time in that Pumping Station immediately under the motorway bridge in your opening shot around 2010 rebuilding the electrical and automation system. Good memories.

The mall was quite enjoyable and elegant in the 1970s and 80s. I went to a wool sale there where there was a lot for sale in the middle of the mall withing little white picket fenced pens. When Wellington got the new trains in 1982, I think it was, the red rattlers were kept on the J'ville line as the new trains were too big for the tunnels. I was told Railways got one stuck trying to get it through.

Since this was made, look how Britain and in particular England and indeed Jaguar has changed.

Wonderful to see where my V12 Daimler was made. Reminds me how lucky I am to own & occasionally drive it. Easily the most beautiful 4-door car ever made.

That ramshackle corner dairy in the background sums up what a hole Johnsonville really is.

nz failed feminist shithole

👍 please

The railway line is lucky to survive. There have been several instances where closure was suggested. It's a shame they didn't leave the original line from Johnsonville to Tawa intact, as it would allowed people from points northward to access the suburb without having to first travel all the way into Wellington station.

My 4x Great Grandfather had the Johnsonville Hotel AKA W H Saunder Hotel on the corner of Gladstone and Main Road now Disraeli Street and Johnsonville Road. Did take me a little while to twig to the name changers while looking at the old maps of Johnsonville. Good to see it, thanks

Hi there George from "George". I live in SE Asia. This is a fucking good video. Thank you.

Interesting. In the 50s SH1 passed thru Jville. I remember the bypass being talked about. I never lived in Jville but went to Onslow College 65-69.

Those wind turbines (diesel driven!) are nothing but a useless perception of "green energy" that isn't. What a blot on the landscape! Otherwise, beautiful countryside I used to hike around 40 years ago before they erected those useless monstrosities. Nice to see those amazing views again.
