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.

It is sort of a spoiler. Suffice it to say that the agency has both a Ford account and a Jaguar account and one of the guys with a loaner from Jaguar has a sort of ironic encounter with the British product's perceived lack of reliability, which is a point made in the series.
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 have heard that the older Jaguars are very nice cars with a Chevy motor in it. Otherwise they are still nice to look at.

There used to be kits fro installing small-block Chevys in XKEs. The Chevy engine rediced the weight of the car considerably.

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

They are a hoot to drive, just drive it in a manner where you can avoid the $8000 clutch job.
