Our 2008 activities director knows his cars. In his life he's owned everything from a Hillman Minx to Austin Healeys, Jaguars, Mercedes Benz and even a vintage Thunderbird. Many of us know Peter as a distributor of waterless car wash products, but a recent interview with him discovered a multi-faceted individual.
Peter is a body builder, a singer and ex-Air Canada mechanic (specializing in electroplating) who holds a patent for direct plating of copper on aluminum. Now retired from Air Canada, Peter's focus is on his cars and on his detailing business.

Yves Paprocki is new to the Montreal Jaguar club (joining this year) but not new to fine cars. His first Jaguar was a 1986 XJ6 which he bought in the mid-90's. He loved the car, but wasn't impressed with the quality of the gear knob so, putting his 30-years of woodworking knowledge to work, he designed and created his own (see photo at right).
