Saharan Road Trip, Jaguar XK 120 Experience Test - Limit 55 E22

[@SteveWille]

Do you think it accidental that Jaguar designed the XK120 to look as beautiful with the bonnet up as down?

[@wekke-fdb]

Wow!! Now there's a Road Trip Special Episode. Two legendary cars in the Atlas mountains... What a dream. And again, an extremely well put together video

[@limit55]

Thank you and glad you enjoyed it!

Another episode on Limit 55. At least one part of the world is running smoothly. I have fossils from the Atlas Mountains.

[@p.d.nickthielen6600]

I can not imagine going there …. So this video was the closest I may ever get to going there…. This is really well done…. Thank you thank you.

Thanks for the support!

This looks so like such an experience, As an Englishman like you (we’re similar ages I think) this really reaches to something inside, that grand tour Anglo eccentricity to go to those rough around the edges but undeniably beautiful and ancient parts of the world that still somehow cling on in the conformist corpo/globalised age. I’ve been on a motorcycle trip in the Atlas Mountains but a driving a battered old friend in the desert frontier seems so right. Somehow I don’t think my asthmatic 67’ bgt would handle those mountain roads so well, or the heat, or the journey from England, who knows, this video has set a flame, so thank you for that. As they probably say in that part of the world - Qui onques rien n'enprist riens n'achieva!

motoring at its finest! ♫ Wouldn't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express They're taking me to Marrakesh All aboard the train, all aboard the train ♫ -- Graham Nash -- BTW, i recently purchased a '67 mk2.sedan, in excellent condition, with the 3.4l XK engine. probably similar to the original engine in that E-type, assuming its an early one. i immediately set out on a trip from california to ohio. made it over Colorado's 12,000ft Loveland Pass, but found the block was cracked, most likely before i even started the trip, when i reached ohio. had to leave it in a shop there and fly back home. three months later and the car remains in ohio and i'm at wit's end trying to source a jag engine rebuilder for the 3.4l engine. i'm not anticipating getting the car back for another six months or so. :( and... what's the status of that TC (TD?) you picked up a while back in Antioch?

Seriously, this needs a two hour video, or a season to itself. We'll done! Love the quirky sense of humor (hotter than a pair of camel balls). And whom was your lovely road partner?

[@limit55]

All it needs is a crew, a budget, a co-host, and a script and we could really be somebody. 😁 thanks for the comment!

Great vid guys! Morocco is on my travel list. Looks like a great trip.

[@limit55]

Thank you! It was great fun

[@michaelgideon6422]

well done!

[@booshkoosh7994]

Hey Guys! Thanks for the video! Your videography is becoming truly impressive! Are you still filming it yourself, or have you hired a camera guy? Either way, your videos get better every time!👍😃😉

[@limit55]

Hey! We film, and edit, everything ourselves… a home operation!

[@booshkoosh7994]

@@limit55 You guys are really on the ball! You're going places! Each one of your videos presents itself with more inspiration for me, each time! Helps me keep on track😉😅

[@craigmorton1944]

Did you get to "pilot" the E Type ? The most accurate description of driving a Jaguar that I have ever heard ---- "You Dont drive a Jag --you pilot it". Craig (Sydney Australia) Jag E Type ser 2 1969 OTS. Grace Space and Pace ! MGB 1969 Safety Fast ! (and "piloted" a friends XK120 many times)

[@jcheck6]

We don't "pilot" airliners any more. That went out with the B727. They fly themselves.

[@craigmorton1944]

@@jcheck6 Your correct of course but these cars were built when the driver required much more attention to instruments and steering and road feel . This Xk120 is a 1948 and this E type is circa 1962. The B727 first flew in 1963. They are all products of their time . Best wishes craig

[@jcheck6]

@@craigmorton1944 Very well stated Craig, thanks. Having flown the B-727 and finishing up my career with the Airbus, the changes have gone hand in hand with automobiles. Hope you are enjoying Daniel's channel as much as I. There is just something about you all with a "Brit" background including those from Aussie land that I admire.

[@limit55]

Thanks all for the support, it is much appreciated! In answer to the question, I did not pilot the E unfortunately, too wrapped up in the 120 😁 I think it would be great to do a dedicated review episode for the E type though!

[@craigmorton1944]

@@jcheck6 Yes the channel is excellent and yes I love british cars and Best Wishes to you. craig
