Podcasts about Jaguar XJS

Penny Bell, a 43-year-old English businesswoman and mother of two, was brutally murdered on 6 June 1991 in the car park of Gurnell Leisure Centre in Greenford, London. Stabbed over 50 times in a frenzied attack, Penny's murder remains unsolved. On the morning of her death, she left her home in her blue Jaguar XJS, informing workers renovating her kitchen that she was late for an appointment—an appointment never recorded. Witnesses later reported seeing her driving erratically with a passenger in her car, and one witness claimed she appeared to ask for help. The attack was personal, with no signs of robbery or sexual assault, and police believe Penny likely knew her killer. Suspicious elements include her withdrawal of £8,500 three days prior, wallpaper samples found in her car, and a mysterious man seen entering her vehicle. Despite questioning thousands, offering rewards, and pursuing leads—including her husband, an alleged lover, and even convicted killer Robert Napper—the case remains a mysteryOssuary 6 - Air Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Contact us at: weeknightmysteries@gmail.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/weeknightmysteriesTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@weeknightmysteries

“La única regla es que no hay reglas”. Así de breve y conciso es el reglamento de la Cannonball, una carrera ilegal que une los EE.UU. de costa a costa. Ilegal y muy peligrosa. Una carrera que nació en 1971 como protesta por los absurdos límites de velocidad y en la que participaron periodistas, personajes famosos y hasta pilotos de F1… y que de alguna manera, sigue presente en la actualidad. Alguno me diréis: “Máximo, la Cannonball ya no se celebra”… pues sí y no. No, porque como carrera que reúne a muchos coches a la vez, efectivamente, ya no se celebra. Pero se siguen homologando récords de tiempo para llegar desde el Red Ball Garage en Manhattan New York, para luego atravesar todo Estados Unidos lo más rápido posible y terminar en el Portofini Inn en Redondo Beach, California. En total, nada menos que 4.546,9 km. Aprovechando la cuarentena de 2020 tres hombres, en un Audi A8 muy mejorado han establecido un nuevo récord en 26 horas y 38 minutos… No, no os voy a obligar a hacer cuentas, ya las hago yo, eso supone una media de 170,72 km/h… incluyendo por supuesto paradas a repostar o a lo que sea… no está nada mal. Pero a mí me gusta centrarme en el nacimiento, porque me parece una idea brillante para protestar por unos límites que muchos consideraban absurdos en 1979… y que mayoritariamente siguen vigentes… más de 40 años después. Entre finales de 1970 y primeros de 1971, el Congreso de los EE.UU. de Norteamérica vota la aprobación de unos límites de velocidad, para todos los estados, de 55 mph, para entendernos, 88 km/h. El activista “anti-coches”, Ralph Nader, fue uno de los responsables de que prosperase la “Clean Air Act”, una ley que imponía un límite de velocidad en las autopistas interestatales, para reducir los accidentes y la contaminación. 88 km/h en un país con una red de autopistas envidiable y enorme, unos coches potentes y unos coches deportivos, los llamados “Muscle Cars” muy apreciados por los aficionados.Toda la prensa en general y la especializada en particular, se pronunció contra esta limitación por considerarla absurda. Las “locuras” son cosas de “locos”. Y Brock Yates estaba loco… para mí un loco maravilloso con una imaginación brillante. Para otros, un loco peligroso. Probablemente ambas cosas sean ciertas. Yates sabía mucho de coches, eso es indudable. Era conocedor de las hazañas de otro “loco maravilloso”, Erwin “Cannon Ball” Baker, que había cruzado los USA de una costa a otra en múltiples ocasiones, en coche y moto, en ocasiones por carretera, pero las más de la veces por caminos e incluso por sembrados. Y a Brock se le ocurrió una idea: Convocar una carrera de costa a costa para demostrar que era seguro viajar por autopistas a velocidades elevadas. No solo era un acto de rebeldía, una manera de protestar contra las injustas y estrictas normas de tráfico, sino que pretendían demostrar que un buen conductor con un coche bien mantenido podía viajar rápido sin ser un peligro. Así nace la “The Cannon Ball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash” o la “Carrera del Trofeo Conmemorativo Cannon Ball Baker del Mar al Mar Brillante”. Bonito nombre… y sobre todo sencillito. El 3 de mayo de 1971 se celebra la edición que podríamos enumerar como “cero”, que era simplemente una prueba. La ocupaba Brock, junto con sus amigos Steve Smith, Jim Williams y su hijo Brock jr. que hacía de “vigilante”. Brock publicó un reportaje en la revista que tuvo muy buena acogida. Y tras este buen resultado, convocaron la carrera de verdad. Consiguieron 8 participantes que arrancaron desde Nueva York el 15 de noviembre de 1971. Trataron de dar lustre y ganar relevancia fichando a un piloto de F1 y contactaron nada menos que con Dan Gurney y con un Campeón del Mundo de F1 Phill Hill. El primero dijo que sus sponsor no iban a entender esta participación y el segundo que temía perder su permiso de conducción… Está edición disparó el éxito de la “Cannonball” que en los años que van del 72 a la última edición del 79 vive su era dorada, con participantes de lujo, con equipo femeninos, personas relacionadas con el mundo del cine, que finalmente fue la causa de que se hiciese una película inspirada en la edición de 79. No se celebra oficialmente la Cannonball, pero si hay un legado y muchos aficionados que siguen haciendo esa ruta y tratando de batir récords. El récord “oficial” de 1979 fue de 32 horas y 51 minutos, con un Jaguar XJS y fue batido en 1983 con un tiempo de 32 horas y 7 minutos. Coche del día. Voy a elegir el Cadillac, un Sedán De Ville (1971) que participó en la primera edición, porque aunque seas un delincuente, no dejes de ser elegante… ¿no os parece?

A new take on a variety show this week for CarChum.  It started out as cars that just missed the mark, but ended up with a Skoda Felicia Pickup and a couple of average travel guides.  And then there's motorbikes, trains, busses and lorries.  Probably the only things missing are planes.

How do you go from being the unluckiest driver in Formula One to been the most famous person ever to be fired off a military aircraft carrier a Jaguar XJS? Perry McCarthy's career began in the North Sea, and it could have ended there had it not been for how that famous TV moment captured the imagination of the fans worldwide. By his own admission, this is a career that didn't go as planned, but as a result its one of the most fascinating stories in Motorsport. Guy and Paul meet the racing driver behind the original Top Gear Stig, in episode 30 of Spinning Wheels.

Ruth Penelope “Penny” Bell – 6th June 1991 Penny Bell, as most people will know her, was born in 1948. Her family life seems to have been a happy and healthy one. In 1981 she married her boyfriend, Alistair Bell. They had met in 1975. The marriage would be Penny’s second, the first ending in divorce some years earlier. Together Penny and Alistair would both become successful people employed at the director level. Alistair was a director of an estate agency, that’s a realtor for the American audience, and Penny was the director of a Human Resource agency with a specialism in the supply of high-quality catering staff. Her business was doing well with an annual turnover of around £3 million, and Penny was earning around £80,000 – good money for 1991 when there was a recession on. At 12.15, metropolitan Police were called to the car park of the Gurnell Leisure Centre in Greenford, West London. A woman had been taken ill in the car park. An hour or so earlier, two other women using the facilities had seen the car, a powder-blue Jaguar XJS, parked in a bay with the hazard lights on and the windscreen wipers on. They had looked inside and saw a woman they thought was asleep, so went on to their exercise. Only when they returned an hour later did they check again, this time they saw a little more and the police were called. Carefully the attending officers opened the door to find a scene of utter horror. Penny Bell sat in the driver’s seat dead from massive blood loss caused by a savage attack with a bladed implement. The car-park was immediately sealed and became a crime scene that would be meticulously examined by forensic and uniformed officers. Grief affects everyone differently and this poor family were torn apart by this man in their mothers car that June day in 1991.

When you really need to make a sequel to the worst sequel ever made (Cannonball Run II) you better not call it Cannonball Run III. Instead call it Cannonball Fever (where you legally can), get the folks from SCTV and let Jamie Farr make an appearance. Add fast cars and hijinks. Shake and then serve. The primary reason you want to come into this film is for the fast cars and ridiculous shenanigans when you mix cars and comedy. Well, this one delivers that in spades. From the very get go there are banana-stunts with cars all set to a comedic backdrop. See a Countach skip across a lake, see a BMW 5 series jump 30 feet, see a Jaguar XJS fly - really, really fly. We'll save the most insane stunt for the viewers at home but it involves a commercial airliner. While there are some serious duds for jokes here and there, there is legitimately good comedy here. The SCTV folks knew how to script a great joke about society and morals. You can see the difference between the chauvinism and grab ass comedy of the Burt Reynolds/Dom Deluise vision of the Great Gumball Rally to the mild, awkward comedy of John Candy and Eugene Levy. Speed Zone is a true gem of using a tight budget and spending it very wisely. This seems like they had $10 million to spend but in reality it was closer to $1 million. A great cast, lots of cameos, ridiculous stunts and laugh after laugh makes the illegitimate child of the Cannonball Run franchise a great view. Do it!
