After a couple of AU's and about 4 years of ownership i am now sad to say that i am no longer a part of the "AU Brotherhood". It will certainly be emotional watching this one drive away for the last time, particularly knowing i wont be in another one again of my own.
I certainly feel ive definately left my mark on the AU scene and will continue to keep an eye on what all you nutbags are up to. Will leave it up to the new owner of the ute to make it known, not a huge forum member but is fairly involved with a particular Ford car club. Whats next for me at the moment looks to be a motorbike of some variety, seems to be a good option for the point i am in at this time of my life. cheers guys Adam |

Sorry to see you go Adam but you always made it clear that it was a stepping stone to greater things.

The car served its purpose. She modded it to a beautiful car, got it featured in Street Fords and now its time to move onto the next project, be it a bike or whatever.
Maybe sure you should get a Honda (as GK mentioned) Goldwing. You and dad can go cruising together.  :

I must say, "Black Betty" was the inspiration behind my ute plus the never ending support from yourself Adam, sorry to see you leave the "brotherhood" but I'm sure we'll see you and your new toy again real soon
 : :nutsycuck All the best mate Mick

Congrats on selling the ute Adam. Will be a shame to see you not in a Ford, but no doubt we may catch up somewhere in the future.

Congrats Adam - the force is once again strong in you! As for no mods, I doubt it. That's like saying Bucky is good looking!
