Default Time to gut her!

Hey guys,

I've ran out of space and time for my beloved XJ-S. So that means I am trying to part with parts or the car. What ever can get me some coins in...

It was great here and I will be back again with another car as soon as time and space allows it. My dream car wo t remain a dream for long again...

So, just in case someone needs something... I can ship anything. You just need to pay for delivery haha

Cheers

Damien

[this is my shocked face]

After all the work and effort you've put in, I didn't expect to see this post from you.

Hate to see you go, but I have a feeling though that you'll be back some day.

Cheers

I will be back. I just have absolutely no time right now to take on the rest of the work. My daytime job is demanding, relationship is evolving, plans to build a home are coming along and I have to get a bachelors degree to make more progress in my daytime job. So... Time is rare...

Sometimes life gets in the way. Priorities change. We've all been there.

Your announcement feel a bit like a punch in the gut, though! I hope you'll be back in the fold more sooner than later.

Cheers

I know how our circumstances can change, sometimes quite rapidly, but as our lives evolve, priorities will follow them. Anyhow, good luck in your new realities. Cars will always be there, just different models.

I would, unless you really need to cash in the value, store her for now. You will for sure regret in 10-15 years from now...

Sorry Ron, but the intended receiver for my message was our much younger mate Damien. I bet he will be around for much longer than the two of us...
I'm impressed you're still going strong at 87. It gives me a lot of hope for the future at only 57...
