Boy this Canadian Forum is dead

 

There are several owners in Canada

 

Yes, it's a really quiet forum - I know of at least three other Crossfires in Ottawa.

Maybe we are too poor to afford internet access after paying the nasty sticker price for our cars.

 

Thanks for the reply.....this side of the forum is soooo quiet that I have resorted to the general Crossfire forum. Coming from the Audi scene, I must say that the Corssfire is not welcomed in the aftermarket world....with Startech the only manufacturer to design body cladding and charging $$$ is not fun. In anycase, nice to have meet you virtually and my car will pretty much remain stock except for the suspension lowering. By the way, I just aquired my 2004 Crossfire with 38,000kms for only $15,500.....not bad at all

 

I.m in Ottawa and just put my yellow convertible to bed for the winter.......I just about cried.....! But it will be well rested when I get it out in early April.....vroom vroom I can't wait!

 

Hello! I am in Welland, about 15 min from Niagara Falls and i also just put my baby away for the winter

 

I'm in Grimsby and mine's on the road all year 'round..........at least when the roads are clear. Life's too short, I've stored a convertible for 24 winters and I don't need another mouse hotel for the winter!

 

This is a quiet corner of the forum, I use the main one mostly. I am in Caledon, in the summer I ended up in a convoy of three Xfire's for a few k's, quite a coincidence. The Xfire is covered for the duration of the salt season and in the garage. Anyone driving in this weather especially should look at the thread on rust in the door seal area on the coupe forum. There are some bad photos to see. Stop that rust before it starts doing real damage. I have no rust yet and hopefully will not in the future.

 

Hi
I would say that the reason the Canadian form is so quiet has to do with two factors.
They only ever made some 2,000 Crossfires for sale in Canada
We are spread out over some 5,000 miles.
Normally I would not be putting my reply in to a link dealing with Toronto as it is simply so far from me that it is not likely I would have anything relevant to say.
The one thing we all do have in common is the lack of parts, { if any one in the US thinks they have problems finding parts they need to try it in Canada }
and the second item is the high cost of having any of the US parts shipped to Canada.
Just my 1.65 cents US

 

It just amazes me that everyone that sees the car just loves it and no one has ever said a bad thing about it, everyone loves it...so it shocks me to hear that they did not sell very well....just another one of those puzzles!!!

 

Snow is melting....almost time to take her out of hibernation!!!

 

The cover is off and the clay bar treatment is halfway done. Polish, wax and She will be ready for the road.
They covered the streets around here with salt again the other day so we need more rain.

 

I saw someone driving a grey coupe in Ottawa the other day.....never mind the fact that I own one and that I am most likely to notice another one but who would not turnheads when you see one driving by.

Last summer I dropped my wife off at work and I when came to a red light and was waiting, some woman , on my right in the turning lane, stopped and held up traffic for a minute or so while she took a picture of the car and yelled.."my kids love will love a picture of your beautiful car" I was so surprised I don't even know if I had time to smile......

 

Karmann,let me chime in as another canadian owner in southern ontario.i'm from burlington(hamilton).i just bought my '05 ssb and can't wait till i get it from the dealer who has it in storage.just an idea but maybe some of us can get together and do atour on a nice sunny day(shuffle off to buffalo,wasaga beach or some such destination...just thought) gryfan

 

For all Southern Ontario Crossfire owners!

I just posted a message under "..............GTG in Toronto" for those who may be interested in cruisiing out to Pickering (east end).

No further details will be posted on this thread as I will be staying tuned to the other.

I must admit that last year I reduced the number of Crossfires in Toronto.....When I bought mine for Toronto Chrysler and brought it home to Ottawa.

Winter is over and I have been driving mine every day and watching and talking to the people who drool over it....unbelievable that it did not sell well!!!

Thanks Toronto!

 

We wondered where that Yellow Roadster went................now we know.

 

I bought it over the internet.....gotta love that internet...and flew down to Toronto on a Friday ...boy were my arms tired! Picked it up Saturday morning...showed off in Toronto until Sunday and then had a wonderful drive back home to Ottawa.....what a nice way to start our relationship....with as nice long drive!

 

You should plan your next long GTG (you and Yellow) with us at Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise in Detroit, mid August; a great week-end with 40 other Xfires. My wife and I have been there the past 2 years and would not miss it now.
