Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

Thought i'd join the forum as I bought myself a Crossfire 2 days ago!

Its a 2006 base model in dark metallic grey.

Used to own a jaguar x type, and decided i needed something more...fun.

Im 25, live in Lincoln UK. currently undergoing my training in engineering with Siemens.

Im so glad i bought a crossfire, I dont think iv had this much fun in a car with my clothes on.

Thats all for now i guess, im sure i'll be browsing the forum for any answers to question i have.

Thanks!

 

Congrats & welcome!

When u decide you're ready for even more fun, try an srt6

Cheers!

 

I can only imagine. this is enough of a step up for me. the Jag was only a 2.1 v6 and was fairly sluggish. but it was like driving a big comfy sofa around which was ace.

The SRT6, can that come as a manual, or is it only auto transmission?

 

AT only, but I don't think u will notice.

Car is basically an MB SLK32 AMG without the hardtop convertible at a cheaper $

 

nice, manual would be my choice if there was one, but as there isnt a choice i wouldnt say no.

thats one of the reasons i went for a crossfire, its a hell of a lot of car for the money paid,

iv always liked them with the wide rear flanks, and the fastback shape.

And like you said, the engine, chassis and other parts are MB, so they are solid.

its certainly getting some looks, iv only ever seen one other one in Lincoln before.

 

hi mate and welcome from a UK owner, you will find any info you need on this forum some very knowledgeable owners on here, there is also a thriving owners club here in the uk with a couple of facebook pages for banter and info about meets...chris

 

Hi & welcome from sunny Scotland (yes, really!)

Would also recommend the SRT6 but it's a bit of an animal and what you have is still waaaay cool - a grey 2006 is probably Machine Grey - great colour and rare.
As you say, hell of a lot of car for the money - enjoy!

 

Welcome to the forum
You are among a really nice group of owners around the UK
Enjoy the new adventure

im sure i'll be seeing some of the UK owners at some meets in the future!
