It's done...Over...Finished...Gone

[SergntMac]

The Kenny Brown #1x has been sold. The money is in the bank and she's waiting to be pickled...I mean picked up.

Terms of the sale were 25K cash, and the wire transfer cleared my bank this morning.

Her new home address is Honolulu, Hawaii, where she will be inducted into the Honolulu PD as a service vehicle with K-9 and SWAT responsibilities.

The windshield has to come out, and I think the custom graphics are coming off as well, but it will otherwise remain the #1x.

Y'all in Hawaii better watch out, Officer **** **** means business.

I'm toasting my 3.5 year relationship with the #1x as I type this, any of you who had the chance at driving the #1x know is will be a void hard to fill.

But fill it I will and starting the day the transporter takes the car.

See ya around, Girl, be safe. Take care of your new owner.

Glad for you Sarge----I remember when I got the chance to drive her in Alt---gave her a bit of gas to catch Todd (TAF) to the (his now) muffler shop--- and #1x went squirrly across the intersection--WOW!!! So Cool!

Hope those officers spend some time in "driver training"---sure would hate to see her get a bend in her---------heres to her:beer: as I write this as well....Tom

[Logan]

I shall take this opportunity to toast myself too...

[wsmylie]

Congratulations on the sale Mac. Considering your profession it seems appropriate that the #1x should be going into honorable service as a police vehicle. I hope the assigned K-9 cop appreciates what a special car he is getting and treats it accordingly. :D

[FordNut]

Congrats on the sale, and thanks for the test drive in FL. That helped push me over the edge, convincing me I just HAD to supercharge mine.


So what's the story on pulling the windshield out?

[SergntMac]

So what's the story on pulling the windshield out?The Kenny Brown logo across the top is a glass etching, not a decal. It was very cool too, because it would disappear when wet.

[Hotrauder]

Mac, A great day but a bittersweet one too, I am sure. Onward and upward to bigger and better. Some day you will have to tell us the story of how she made it to the K corp on the island. Got to be interesting. I spent an inspirational weekend at the unmentionable but important to us MVIII-A admiring 1X and your willingness to share any and all with this newbie inspired me to start seriously working on the FruitPunch. thanks and I will start my own toast..to 1X and to you. thank you my friend for your generosity and your friendship. Fly on 1X to your noble endevors in Hawaii. Dennis:beer:

Did you sell the Harley Truck?

[Logan]

Did you sell the Harley Truck?

I wish. Someone buy this damn thing.

[marauder307]

Wonder who got her?

ROADWARRIORSVT is this board's resident Hawaii LEO, working here in Honolulu at the Wahaiwa substation...Tommy, you know anybody who was talking about gettin' their hands on a Marauder?

[jimlam56]

I'd like to retire to Hawaii too.
Congratulations!

[KillJoy]

Mac, Mac, Mac......

CONGRATS BUD!!!

I heard a rumor a while ago, and it did go through! Can't say I am glad though :( I have GAP insurance on mine, and have secretly been wanting an accident that would total it :D

Thanks for the test drive up at Barry's! It was a BLAST! Especially w/ that Meathead friend of your driving!!!!!

I don't know if that will make a good cop car though... it's kinda slow ;)

And what will you fill this void with Mac?

[da'law]

Go, but I am glad I got to test drive KB #1, at the last Chicken Run, thanks to Mac's generous nature. What a ride, Mac that car will be hard to top, but I am sure you will do it. Thanks again for allowing me to pilot her.

[SergntMac]

Wonder who got her?

ROADWARRIORSVT is this board's resident Hawaii LEO, working here in Honolulu at the Wahaiwa substation...Tommy, you know anybody who was talking about gettin' their hands on a Marauder? You won't pry that out of me, but the wire transfer confirmed the Honolulu Police Credit Union as the agent. Guess y'all will just have to wait and see who shows up for duty in a Marauder, eh? Then pry his hood open?

Naw...Just stand back and listen. You'll know soon enough.
And what will you fill this void with Mac?Keep an eye open here Dave, the seeds of a fresh build are in house now.

I'll open a step-by-step thread in this forum when I start that project.

[DarthMarauder]

You gonna mount that windshield up somehow as a momento??? Maybe put it up in the man room as a reminder of the good times.

[SergntMac]

[MM03MOK]

:wave: Aloha, Patches..... :lovies2:

[sweetair]

I'm sure this gives you mixed emotions. When I make it to Hawaii Ill look for her.

[MM2004]

Mac,

Everything happens for a reason. As Dan and I 'crashing' the meet in Chicago.

I am very proud to say steering KB #1x down RT. 66 was an honor, and a memory that will last my lifetime.

Cheers to her and you my friend!

:beer:

Good luck on your new adventure!!!!!!

Not really giving anything away...there's about 1/2 dozen Marauders on duty with HPD, mostly black although I've seen one SB and one DTR. So when the ol' 1x comes outta the dark at somebody, they'll definitely be surprised...

[merc6]

I hope it's a swat car. Our K-9 cars don't look nor smell that pleasant on the inside.

[ROADWARRIORSVT]

..there's about 1/2 dozen Marauders on duty with HPD,


Theres probably over 2 dozen Marauders in an on-duty status. With a force of almost 2,000 sworn officers, it would be safe to say 2 dozen MM are out there! :D Even with sooo many officers, if it was sold to a K-9 officer, that would narrow it dow to about 5 officers. One with the initials J.H., who used to have a S/Ced CV !!! I better stay away from the new Macs #1. It may very well lead me down that old "modified" road,...........again!!!:beer:

[SergntMac]

Ahh...The secrets of the Islands. I never knew.

No wonder Tom Selleck demanded a fast car.

[94_302]

Congrats on the sale.

I hope it's a swat car. Our K-9 cars don't look nor smell that pleasant on the inside.
I was thinking the same thing, hopefully it will fair ok if with the K-9 duty though.

[MERCMAN]

Goodbye OG, Godspeed.

The most fun I ever had in a car was the speed run to Jacksonville sharing time behind the wheel in the KB1x. If cars could write memoirs, that car would have an encyclopedic volume of stories.

[martyo]

God we have been around toooo long. I remember when you were grappling with the purchase and that seems like forever ago or longer!

Congrats man! I was thinking about selling Legal Knevil and then I came down to the ATL and drover her this weekend. So, LK will be staying!

[DEFYANT]

Parting is sweet sorrow.

Congrats on the sale. Now, :poke: spill the beans on the next progect. I know it has sumthin to do with a Kenny Bell. :D

[RR|Suki]

I wish. Someone buy this damn thing.
I'll trade you :D :lol:

With all it's other mods and goodies, it's destined to be the King of the Island.

[MarauderTJA]

Glad to hear you finally sold her Mac. Still has to be a sad day for you deep down.:cry: But what a place to send her:D .

[marauder307]

There I go, eliciting responses again...I oughta be a GTMO interrogator...

For the record, ROADWARRIORSVT is correct in his statements, as is Mac. Although Mac...I coulda sworn those kind of HP figures came from the VT Engines car...thought the Kenny Brown specials were slightly less.

MADDOG, good to hear from you! Your location says East Honolulu---you Hawaii Kai?

[jgc61sr2002]

Mac - Congrats on the sale.:D

[ROADWARRIORSVT]

I gotta stay away from Maddog's car. :cool: I got to check it out at our pistol range a while back. Nice ride mang,....I'm saving up for a PI 3000 stall, 4:30s, and an X-CalII now!! :beer:

[CRUZTAKER]

I can honestly say...I never beat on this car.
When my day came to drive it, it was many moons ago, I didn't know Mac all that well.
But first and foremost. I didn't have the balls. I had the opportunity. It slipped away. Now it will never present itself again.

Lesson?

When someone offers to let you drive their car...

romp it like you stole it!

banana dance baby! :banana:

[Ladyhawke]

Congrats on the sale Mac! We're glad it worked out. We'll always have fond memories of her.

[Bradley G]

Mac
That was a huge thrill to drive your KB Marauder,
that car had more spins than,......well, you know.
Congrats on the sale, and good luck on, whatever else you and Zachery are cooking up.
yeah, I accidently hit some goofy key:o

[STLR FN]

snip....Her new home address is Honolulu, Hawaii, where she will be inducted into the Honolulu PD as a service vehicle with K-9 and SWAT responsibilities. ...end snip.

I hope ypu're not meaning they are going to put a dog on the back the 1x. For a car as special as that to you, it would be a shane to have it trashed.....

C'mon Tommy,

My MM has just the basic mods. I know you will be upgrading your MM, like you done to yours stangs.:D i;ve been thinking about PI 3000 stall as my next mod. But not sure yet,still researching if would effect the daily driving we do. Well anyway it will be nice to see another MM at the station.

Maui might as well be CA. Different island, plus I've never even been on Maui,....yet!

Just ask some of these gearheads,...they'll tell ya, its a great mod. Its not like YOU pay for gas anyways. I'm limiting my mods to things that won't affect driveabililty/reliability too!

[Motorhead350]

That car is a ton of fun. I'll miss it. I'll never forget when you told me to jerk the wheel without slowing down... I'll never forget that. What a car! ;)

[SergntMac]

I hope ypu're not meaning they are going to put a dog on the back the 1x. For a car as special as that to you, it would be a shame to have it trashed...Don't worry, DJ. There are special order kits to convert a CV/PI to a K-9 car that will fit the #1x just fine. If the new owner is so inclined, things should be just fine.

I'm more confused about how a premier GPS system works on the Islands, and how an 800 watt RMS stereo system will jibe with S.W.A.T. gear in the trunk. But, that's also not my problem...

[SergntMac]

That car is a ton of fun. I'll miss it. I'll never forget when you told me to jerk the wheel without slowing down... I'll never forget that. What a car! ;)Hehehe...Gary (Chapel1) will likewise miss his drive in the #1x. Same scenario, only he trusted me and took the full turn. Same response, the #1x follows instructions.

[SergntMac]

Well, it's really done now. Today, (and with help from fellow member Mike) I dropped off the #1x at Dependable Auto Transport. It looks like they will be taking good care of the car, hope the new owner isn't disappointed.

Thanks again for all your kind words, time to move on.

[Mike]

Mac, It was my pleasure being there for the final voyage and I'm glad I didn't turn down the offer to drive the KB Marauder that was a ride I'll soon not forget!!!! Good luck on your next project!!

[ROADWARRIORSVT]

I "may" have saw the new owner the other day on a SWAT call out. He said it wasn't for him, but then there was this big :D that followed!!:beer:

What an awesome Marauder you had.Your generosity of letting me drive your Marauder is one I'll never forget. The massive power and nibbleness of a well matched custom suspension just blew me away.
