CAR PARTS

My father was quite the mechanic in his day, specializing in classic imports. He's always kept a few in his garage, trading and selling as opportunity arose. This little gem had become a favorite with no one ever quite making the deal sweet enough for him to let her go.
I knew something was up when he told middle granddaughter he was giving her a cat for a wedding present.

Jaguar S-Type circa 1966.

Great feature! Let's see, Jaguar (especially a classic one) - lots of responsibility. Nope, not for me.

Absolutely right, Bobbi! This thing is more high maintenance than the four legged variety!! I'm convinced that's why grandpa gave it up--too much for him to keep up with now days but he didn't want it to go too far away!

This would look great on Val's new $104,000 Jag!

who doesn't know Jaguar and who does not, sometimes, just a bit, dream of Jaguar? Great capture.
