cheers,

 

Wifey and I had a great time today.
Weather was perfect and met so many new Crossfire friends.......and it was great to see some regulars again too.
Excellent job Beth & Nick for organizing this event.
Who is going to post picks?

 

actually as much as i would "love" to take all the credit.....the whites also helped in the organization. david and cheryl were a big help.
i agree , it was great to see all of those people out today. it was one of the best gtg's in a long time.i was really nice to see all of the "new" people. it means we are still growing the club in our neck of the woods. it was also a pleasure to meet"wifey"....she is a doll.
mario and shelly, wally, hal, norm,ken, angelo,david,cheryl,pit marshall, tonygg, sparky and mrs. sparky... steve charlotte......and anyone i may have forgotten.....thanks for a great day! we had a blast. we now have to wait for angelo to post some great pics. with that big honking camera ....he must have taken some doozies.
hope you all have/ had a safe drive home . we can't wiat to meet again......at norm's ...if not sooner.
cheers ,
crash / gryfan

What an ideal day this was for a cruise, meeting new XF owners and making new friends. I and Shelley enjoyed our day with you all. Here's a few pics...

Great pics Turbo. Looks like a really great day. Really great cars, and really great people.
Does anyone have a tentative date for a Prince Edward County cruise?

 

ottawa john,
hello ...gryfan here. we would like to have seen you on saturday....but we understand it is a ways away. i see you guys are talking about doing a tour on the island that makes up the "county". how about a tour around kingston and the thousand islands?
also , i see that you are from a small town outside of ottawa. do you happen to know the Fitzpatrick family? there is randy, shawn,terry and bill. actually bill owns a small bistro in ottawa....petit bill's bistro.they are relatives of an aquaintance of mine.
cheers,
gryfan
