Jack Looney is my ex father-in-law who I spoke about
in my post to Alejandro about finding a Peugeot
mechanic in Southern California that would be close
to his home in Mexico. He owned the Peugeot dealer
that I bought my 1974 504 from, and we became good
friends over the years. I actually first met him when
I was 15 years old, and on subsequent visits to his
dealership as he had very interesting cars such as
Peugeot, Renault, Alfa Romeo, and Citroen. He's also
a Citroen expert and was a service rep for them, and
he's one of the best mechanics I've ever known. He
sure taught me alot. Anyway, I went to work for him
eventually, met and married one of his daughters, and
even though we're now divorced, he's the grandfather
to my two sons.I recommend him highly.
