    Part 1

    Hello, my name is Chris, and I am writing with sad news regarding Jaguar Forum member prettybluefin, whose real name is Ally Takeuchi. Tragically, Ally recently passed away suddenly from pneumonia. It has been a very bad flu season due to the fires/poor air quality in LA this year, and Ally, like many, fell victim to bronchitis, which progressed into strep throat, which progressed into pneumonia. Admitted to the emergency room a hair too late, she did not respond to antibiotics and passed away.

    Ally and I were friends who bonded over a shared passion for Jags, and we would keep in touch by text, share Jag maintentance and customization info, and meet for lunch on occasion, often with her son, Evan. Evan and her XKR were two great loves in Ally’s life.

    Part 2

    Ally was a very devoted single mother to Evan his fate is now a mystery to me.

    A GoFundMe page has been started for Evan. It can be found here, or by searching GoFundMe with the name ‘evan oliver cipriani':

    https://www.gofundme.com/evan-oliver...-cipriani-fund

    Ally's funeral was yesterday, Sunday, March 25th.

    At present, a childhood friend of Ally’s is struggling to inform her social circle about her shocking, sudden death. Please pass this information along to anyone who knew her in the Jaguar community. Thank you.

    I can be contacted at my personal email address, chrisheadrick@att.net

    Ms. Bluefin, You don't need to send me anything in return as I would never have used the Black Repeaters anyway!

    If you need me for something, Call or send a message to:
    16000 Memorial Drive, Ste. 220

    Pretty Ms. Bluefin,

    I could not get the lights to slide either right or left...They are pretty much stuck....I talked with a Jag Buddy of mine and he told me to go through the inspection plate in the Front Wheel Well and I could reach in and move the clips and push the assembly out....... I'll do that after I get the glue...I had bought the same old Gorilla glue that you had....Glad you told me about it!

    Pretty Ms. Bluefin,

    Thanks very much for your help with this project! As soon as I can, I will get this job done! What kind of glue did you finally come-up with? I saw that you had used something that had turned color.........

    Oh! I finally figured out how to post a Photo of my XKR! It looks like I left the Lights on!

    Ms. Bluefin, Thanks to your help, I am now the proud owner a 2 Clear Front Side-Marker Lens and I also own 2 Chrome/Amber bulbs. I understand the procedure of popping off the Amber Lens and gluing on the Clear Lens but now I really need your help! How do you get the Marker Lights out of the Car? Do I have to go behind the Fender well opening or what? Help!!

    Hi. Thinking about buying the silver coupe that is on eBay right now that looks almost identical to your car, but it is not local. Wondering if there is any chance I could check out your just to see if I like it in person.
