Imran's response is a determined quest to become the quintessential English gentleman: tie perfectly knotted, shirt pristinely ironed, hair neatly combed. He yearns to emulate his hero, Simon Templar of The Saint, by driving off into the distance in a Jaguar XJS to encounter danger, adventure - and a vivacious young woman (preferably brunette, but any kind considered).
