A sad day......

I knew the day would come but it happened sooner than I thought.

Being now located permanently in the UK and living in a fairly remote area, looking after the KR has become more problematic.

I'm sure that sooner or later things will start to go wrong...some already have...no CD, false tyre pressure readings etc.
So I made the decision to put the Expy up for sale.

Today a nice gentleman who is well into American vehicles drove up from London and made me a reasonable offer.
He lives in an area where getting servicing etc is much easier.

Thus it is with a deal of regret after a string of KR's from the very first F150 that I will say goodbye.

I am replacing it with a lovely Jaguar so I will have some recompense !

However it also means that I am going to depart from the forum where I have made some very good friends...some I have actually met !

It isn't quite the same as the 'old' days, when we had so much banter winding each other up, but I will miss automatically logging onto F150 every time I switch on.

So thanks everyone for the chats and KEEP ON TRUCKING !!

Not that I'm on much here anymore myself, but there are a number of us that will miss you...... who is going to correct spelling & grammar now??? lol...

I'm actually jealous.... I can imagine your new Jag.... XKR? (post pics)

And as you know.... there are a number of ex-Kr's here still active.... did you think you were going to get away that easy? You're always welcome here... stay in touch!

Yes, Lenny. DO stay in touch.

Hope the new owner treats it with the love you lavished on it.
