2001 JAGUAR S-TYPE 3.0
3.0-litre V6, 240 HP
92,500 kilometres

MY SON WAS a soccer player and I always used to

say to him, 'If you ever become famous, remember one
thing: Mom wants a Jag.'
I HAD A birthday last October - it wasn't one of the big
numbers, but it was a bit of a milestone. I got to thinking,
if not now, then when? That's when I started to seriously
look. I found him at London Honda - in immaculate
condition for his age. The previous owner must have
totally babied him.
HIS NAME IS Birmingham - named after my home

city in England where they build Jags. I refer to him
as my high-maintenance man. I know he'll have some
reliability issues that I'll have to account
for, and I'm okay with that.
THIS PARTICULAR JAG -

the S-Type - to me has
the classic Jaguar styling.
Run your hand from boot
to bonnet, the curves on
this car are unbelievable.

I REALLY HAVEN'T had much of a chance to play with
him. I only had him for a couple of weeks last fall before I
popped him in the garage for the winter. Since then, he's
been started up every second day, wiped down weekly
and taken to the end of the street and back now and then.
I'm really looking forward to May when he's back on the
road for the summer. There's probably some new clothes
in order - I'll need to dress the part.
THERE'S A DAY coming up when I'm

going to take him out on the 403 and
see how fast he can go. I know I
shouldn't admit to that, but as my
dad used to say, 'Sometimes, you
have to blow the cobwebs out.'
HE'S QUICKLY BECOME my

pride and joy. Who would of
thought that at this stage of
life I'd ﬁnally have my
Jag?
