Title: goodbye
Post by ferretmobile on Jan 18^th, 2008, 11:13am

Well folks, I am sorry to say that tomorrow my old girl is going :(
I am very sad at her passing, but economy has forced my hand and my local Ford dealership has given me a fair price as part exchange. I am picking up a focus ghia 2.0 tdci on an 06 plate, and I have to say it is a minter :)
I do a lot of motorway miles and the 60 to a gallon will make a big difference to my wallet.
I would like to say a big thank you to all of you kind people who have helped me over the years. I could not have done it without you.
I think that my scorp will have top place in the best car that I have ever owned and I still get that frisson whenever I see one on the road.
I have a few bits and bobs that I keep as spares to go, but what I may do is put them up to the
highest bidder and the cash can then be donated to this site. :)
Once again peeps, thanks for the ride, its been a gas. 8)

Thanks guys,the club sticker is firmly attached to the rear window. I asked the fella what will happen to my beloved & he said that it will be going to the essex auctions, so If you see a pepper red 2.3 S640 XNO up for sale yre know where it came from. It has 120,000 on the clock and apart from the normal bit of wire worm around the rear arches its in good nick.
As soon as I get to grips with teknology stuff I will post some pikkys of new love.
Cheers Ferret
