WELCOME TO THE JAGUAR E-MAIL NETWORK!
List: jag-lovers@psy.uwa.edu.au
Admin: scott@psy.uwa.edu.au
What is the Jaguar cars e-mailing list?
- Jag-lovers is an international network of Jaguar automotive owners
and enthusiasts dedicated to enjoying and maintaining the breed.
Linked globally in real-time via the Internet, a global electronic
mail (e-mail) network, we discuss various topics such as the daily
dramas of owning the things, car maintenance and restoration and
such. Together, we provide an informal support system which ranges
from sharing technical information and locating spare parts (or even
whole cars) to swapping tales of adventure and daring-do.
- The scope of this group is simple, discussion is open to any subject
involving Jaguar automobiles. Currently over 130 folks are on the
list, not all of them owning Jaguars, some wanting to get info before
they make the plunge, others simply admirers of the marque.
list, not all of them owning Jaguars, some wanting to get info before
they make the plunge, others simply admirers of the marque.
Presently list members own, XK120s 40s and 50s, E-Types, Mk I & IIs, XJS
XJ6, XJ12, XJ40s, 420Gs, Mk 5s, Mk 7s and Mk9s.
- jag-lovers is based out of Perth Australia. New members from any
continent and nation are welcome. In other words the lists location does
not make it an "Australian" Jaguar mailing list. Australia simply happens
to be where the machine is located that re-directs e-mail to members on
the list. The task could be carried out by any machine anywhere in the
world with e-mail access.

How busy is this list?
- The Jaguar list is rather quiet, usually averaging about 5 to 10
messages per day
How do I join?
- Send e-mail to scott@psy.uwa.edu.au to subscribe. After sub-
scribing, use jag-lovers@psy.uwa.edu.au to send e-mail to the whole
list. The Jaguar e-mail is carried over the computer network known
as Internet. Internet links many of the major universities,
government labs and commercial computer/communication institutions
internationally. It may take a few days for the administrator to
add you to the list.
- When you join the jag-lovers list, you are encouraged to introduce
yourself and tell us a bit more about yourself and your car. For
example, tell us about the Jaguar you have (or want) and any
adventures that you've had finding, buying or owning it. Your
Jaguar-related tales of treasures found, repairs, racing, rallying
and any general misadventure are always welcome.
and any general misadventure are always welcome.
Are there any rules?
- There are no formal rules.
- Often some of the postings to jag-lovers make great material for
local club newletters. This practice is encouraged and helps
advertise the utility of the net. However, don't assume that you
have the author's permission to copy their material. The informal
rules we go by is that if you want to include anything off the
jag-lovers list in a local club newsletter, first get the author's
permission and offer to send them a copy of the issue in which their
article appears.
- Also, be assured that you are among friends here. It helps everyone
if you relate both where things went wrong as well as where things
go right when working on your Jaguar. We all learn from it.
- List archives: John Butler has kindly made space avaliabe for archives of
the Jag-Lovers email list. They are avaliable via anonymous FTP from the
UK...(see we are an international group :-)
