Hey I like Val, but I really take issue with this (and no ageist jokes).
The Saint should feature some photos of Roger Moore... and more importantly, a
P1800 Volvo in the lobby
On a personal note, when I was teenager with a newly-minted driver's license, my father sold! his
BOSS 302 Mustang (the king of TransAm racing) and brought home the little 4 cylinder Swedish monstrosity with tail wings (P1800). I screamed at him. "Wait until you drive it" said father.
Long story short, my first car was a Volvo 1800ES (a bit like a sleek wagon version of the P1800 that was only released for 2 years). I took it across Canada, south to California and zig-zagged my way north-east back to Niagara (I made that trip twice in one year lol). On my eighteenth birthday I totalled this gorgeous racing green beauty that could do 138mph with a 4 cylinder engine. I recently saw a mint-condition (identical to mine)
1800ES was sold for $275,000 (I had paid $5k).

P.S. The Saint is obviously is referencing its location on Church Street, between Toronto's 2 largest cathedrals.
