Default Re: Just bought a '54 Xfire...

I have always loved the styling and can now afford to scratch the itch.. in choosing one, I also test drove a Boxster S and some TT's; most notable the 3.2 V6 TT with DSG. The Porsche was the most potent handler and the DSG gearbox of the TT was, frankly, amazing. While the Boxster and TT would probably have been more sound investments in terms of resale value and the like, I just couldn't resist the Crossfire - added to that, I'm a Mercedes fan

Well, I will likely post here now that I own one and maybe see some of you around

BTW, Does anyone know of a great place for wheel refurbs, preferably in the north of England / Manchester are if poss'?

I have an excellent place just by me near Newark, Notts but this may be too far for you - give me a shout if you want more info'
