But contrats on the new ride Cats. I've always like the mini, seems like a nice well built car.

After all it's a Beamer ground up. Only mini part is the size and shape.

As well as value and desirability. Minus the XK mill, it's not really a Jag.

As I recall, the Jaguar account had something to do with Red getting a partnership.

If you mean Joan no...she slept with the owner of a chain of NY
car dealerships to gain a share of the firm.
Unless that guy had the Jaguar dealerships...anyway I am talking about Lane.

I know the episode you are talking about. It makes one grateful to not have a materialistic spouse.
I do think that the slimeball dealer sold Jags. Might have to revisit Madmen some day.

Well, the engine is solid, the interior and exterior in awesome shape. With our cars I try to do most of the remove and replace on the components that eventually wear out myself (steering components, alternators, shocks, etc.)
If I had to take them to the shop every time something gave out I'd be living in a van down by the river . . .
