Idaho, Washington, Oregon...is a calling 2011, 2012...etc.
My name is Kevin Winston. I am a Crossfire owner of late. I bought mine in May 2011, and fell instantly in love with it. I did not realize my wife Rebecca, who rode a Harley, also became intrigued with the Crossfire. So much, that soon she sold the Harley (she drove it daily) to buy the Crossfire. She will receive hers in August of 2011. We bought a 2008 Roadster in WY which of course looks like my 2007 Roadster. Same color but different license plates. Yes, a real him and hers, in our garage.
Ok, we would love to start and build a Crossfire Club of Idaho. We would look for parades around the state, meet in parks, go for weekend drives, or join other groups in Washington or Oregon. I would like to form the club like the Rocky Mountain area of C-I-C-C-I, of Denver. I have seen 6 different Crossfire’s in Boise, but have not been able to find the owners. I leave my business card on windshields and even talked to one couple in a restaurant, not to find anyone interested. I am hoping there is a silent group who are too shy to write but, would love to get together to show off there Crossfire’s. Nothing like being a special part of a small fair in a small town (or large) and get to show off your auto, like groups for Mustangs, MOPAR’s, Old Classics, etc. We do have quite the story to tell.
Being part of Harley Group, they did rides about every 3 to 4 weeks and had fun. They gave their registrations money if they had a meet; to charity. I sure would like to do the same for a Northwest Crossfire Club, but I will start small, just Idaho, first.
In an earlier memo I said I would give it a try, so this is it. I love my car, I love to drive, I would love to mix the 2 together. In the Northwest we have the prettiest landscape with rivers and mountains (like Colorado), so soon we could hold the convention. That’s my dream, with a full 5 day activity agenda. Can you imagine it ….300 Crossfire’s all coming together to talk shop, look kool, and have a beer.
We are so close to Yellowstone (10 hours) what a great place for a summer meet and greet, or even Crater Lake NP. Maybe our first one?
I guess I just need who really reads this from the Northwest to step up and send me your email and ask to volunteer to Join up. I am hoping in 4 to 5 years to retire, and this would be fun to keep up with it. So, from Boise? from Idaho Falls? From Portland?, From Seattle? From Spokane? From anywhere in between, let me know, I will keep you posted with who signs up and wants to drive…with the BEST Car ever made, for fun!
You know me…I’m in the Blue color roadster…no Rebecca’s is too? Mine will be shiner than hers, no she will wash and wax hers first before mine, Look to the license and you will see mine: POPSTOY. (Rebecca still in decision mode on that.)
