Screen Savers

Screen Savers

Though not strictly Jaguar related, nice screen savers and other electronic gizmos definately enhance the computer experience. Here are a few I have found but not necessarily tested. If you want to hunt around for more automotive information there is a big list of automotive web sites at Kelley Blue Book and the Yahoo! automotive makes and models directory.

The collector of fine and exotic screen savers -- not just cars -- should take a look at Screen Saver Heaven a web site devoted to (only Windows) screen savers.

For those who don't have time to sort through the long list below, here is my personal list of screen savers in order of desirability:

These are outstanding ...

while the next are good ...

  • Vauxhall -- especially the BTCC saver.
  • Ford Probe -- with a secret game, but only for Windows.
  • Land Rover -- Camel Trophy and Great Divide screen savers.

but these are very disappointing and uninspired ...

  • Saab -- just a spinning bouncing logo.

 

Acura
"For a limited time you can put an NSX on your desktop for free" -- your very own NSX screen saver. Also see their QuickTime VR gallery. Windows and Macintosh.

Alfa Romeo
Have a look at Alfa Romeo's Internet Gadget page for some wallpaper and their spectacular calendar (you can individulally download jpegs of each page) and their Film section for AVI and QuickTime movies.

BMW
Wow, what a web site. There used to be a whole heap of screen savers and stuff here: you might have a better time finding them than me.

Chevrolet
While there are no screen savers, there are things to download on the new Corvette including QuickTime movies, QuickTimeVR panoramas, and a ShockWave trivia game. You can also read about the ultimate pushrod V8 engine for the 21st century (sic).

Ford
There is a Windows screen saver for the Ford Probe that apparently includes a secret game.

Honda
Another site that has no screen savers, but it does have QuickTime VR panoramas: take a look at their models and choose QTVR from the menu to find them. The Acura site has Integra and NSX information.

Isuzu
The site's designers have used a rather... umm, errrr... interesting theme for their site. Have a look in their Road Kill Cafe for some downloadable tidbits.

Jaguar
I can't find much at the official Jaguar site, but if you go to Jaguar Nederland you'll find THE CAT IS BACK screen saver for Macintosh and Windows, plus some XK8 images to download.

Lamborghini
Alas, no screen savers. But there is a large selection of images and sounds to download.

Land Rover
The Land Rover Screen Savers page features the 1996 Camel Trophy in Indonesia, and another from the Great Divide Expedition across the Rockies. Both are available for Windows 3.1, Windows 95 and Macintosh.

Mercedes-Benz
They seem to have removed their spinning-star screen saver... no great loss really. We can only hope they replace it with something more worthy.

Nissan
You've got to get yourself a Z-car screen saver. Available for Windows and Macintosh versions. You'll really like this one... There ought to be one for Jaguars like this too.

Saab
From Saab USA there is a spinning logo screen saver for Windows 95 and Macintosh computers. Not much compared with some of the others.

Toyota
No screen savers here (at least none I could find) but something called "Photo Bubbles." (I think they are QuickTime VR clones.) Download the Windows or Macintosh versions.

Vauxhall
Go to the Download pages for Vauxhall screen savers and QuickTime movies. Most screen savers are available for Windows and Macintosh.

Volvo
Another site with no screen savers. There are movies and images to download for many models including the handsome C70 convertible.
