Default The Calgary Connection

Just to let you know there is a crossfire owner out in Calgary. We don't exactly have the weather for it but...you only live once! Glad to know there are other Canadians.

Welcome, nsweber!

You should be able to enjoy the car on those long beautiful Albertan straight stretches! We'll all be wondering:
what colour?
What transimission?
Coupe or Roadster?
What is your build number? (the last 6 digits of your VIN).

Looks Good, nsweber. If you go to "Quick Links" at the top of every page, then to "Edit Avatar" you can attach a photo to your signature that will show up at the top of your posts. Like what you see beside my name.

Thumbs up Re: The Calgary Connection

I think we are the only two crossfire's in Calgary on this board pity I have seen yours in the city just after I got mine I'm sure, hope your having as much fun as I am? I might be the only red crossfire here in the city.

I haven't seen your red one but I will keep an eye out for it. I live just south of Calgary but travel Deerfoot on a daily basis. Looks great!

Another XF in Calgary, I drive an 05 Roadster, sapphire silver blue, VIN 31989, 5 speed auto stick. What a summer we had and the weather is still fine.

Just moved out to Calgary from Vancouver 2 months ago...

Were any of you at the Good Life Fitness at Canyon Meadows yesterday morning? There were 5 (yes I said 5) Crossfires in a row... all different colors!

I have never seen 2 crossfires in one location let alone 5!

Is there any sort of Crossfire enthusiasts club out here?

Hi - that is so weird. I do work out at the Canyon meadows location and own a silver rag top Crossfire. I have never seen another one. Welcome to Calgary.

I own a crossfire and I am in Edmonton. What have you done about winter tires. I am having hard time finding 18" rims for the car.

I actually don't drive my car in the winter... lol, I don't even drive it in the rain... I only put about 4,500 kms on it this year and half of those were driving from Vancouver to Calgary and back in the summer... She is in storage now and probably won't see the day of light again until April or May. I do know Walmart sells an excellent tire which is highly recommended, may be worth a look... It's the Dunlop Gaspic DS-1 Winter/ICE tire. I will be putting these on my Honda this week.

My car came complete with all season tires and with ESP and wet/winter driving selection button. I do not have any problems as the car handles very well in slippery conditions. If the roads are in poor winter driving conditions my Crossfire stays in the garage and out comes my Honda Civic. I will drive the Crossfire in the winter as our city roads are mostly clear due the the warm Chinook (Snow Eater) Winds we have in Calgary which can raise the temperature as much as 80F in 24 hours. (-30F to +50F).

Hi Guy's I am having a hard time finding some winter tires for the crossfire I have some tire shops looking for me also but not having much luck may have to order out of the USA.
Can anybody help or can I find a similar size that will fit OK. 19" are a pain to match.
I won't be driving all the time in winter but if I have to I need good winters or maybe all seasons that have good grip (if I have too).
I know this issue as been rehashed over a over but in canada its not easy to find.
Wish I was there to seen the 5 xfire in a row I would have been #6.

Hey guys . . . just new to the forum, but have had my crossfire for a year and a half - 2004 Alabaster Limited Coupe, 6speed . . . pictures are in my gallery. Probably some have seen my convertible - the big ole 300HURST . . . but have sold it to get the Crossfire. . . . perhaps when spring hits we should all head down to the cruise nite at A&W/Home Depot on McLeod across from Chinook Center . . . .
