Now sold. I would like to wish the new owner all the best in the future with a car. In the short time I've owned a car it's been a pleasure and trouble-free motoring and will be sadly missed but needs must.

I'd like to thank everybody on here for their import and advice on giving me along the way and a special thanks to Steve UK for always being there for me on the end of a telephone if need be. I hope one day I will be able to be in a situation to have another crossfire which many seem to do but who knows. But I will keep an eye on what's going on around here because I've enjoyed doing that before owning a crossfire and have learnt a lot from you all.

Well I now have my new ride which is what I wanted once the crossfire was sold which is a late 2005 Nissan Murano 3.5 V6 with under 40,000 on the clock some call it a 350 Z Jeep on stilts but I have to admit it's a dream to drive plenty of acceleration for what I need considering the weight and size not sluggish at all from what I expected as I once owned a range Rover V8 which was awful but this Murano is a beauty to drive and doesn't feel like a large vehicle to drive. So I don't feel I've had to compromise too much to get a larger vehicle to move stuff around in.

I'm sure some of you know in the UK who bought the 3.8 S crossfire but I will leave that to the new owners wishes to make himself known if he wants people to know. All I will say it could not have gone to a nicer guy who will look after her. And like to apologise for not being able to attend any meets while I've had a car due to personal reasons it's been quite difficult but I'm sure some of you will be able to see the car soon.

Anyway guys and girls thanks again for everything

Mark
