Well I submitted MY RIDE in the Chicago Tribune and it was posted online in Photo # 3.
I have about 90 photos of my Crossfire but I chose this one taken at "Nye's Apple Orchard" in St.Joseph, Michigan where the family goes apple pickin' every year in October. I like the dark window tint contrast to the SSB body.

It was among 20 cars selected from the entries.

A lot more of my pics HERE

Nope, but I'd sure feel bad for her.

Yah Valk, Don't forget the Cooler!

I Hope it's a Huge One, you need room in there for Ice & Brew for 50-75 Dragon Drivers, not counting the Paxs!

I hope to be available and if I am I will be bringing a cooler. It will be empty until I arrive cause speeding with a cooler of beer from Illinois to NC would not be wise. I will appoint you to know where the liquor store is. If I make the trip I plan to arrive ion Friday between 3 and 4 pm with Crossfirefrank and hopefully the one and only FP

I sure hope the three of you can make it, it would be good to see the 3 amigos again and as far as where to buy beer I'm sure that Bill(Silverfox)will know what places to go to because he know the area very well.

Today was a clear cold day after a fresh snow.
The roads were dry , the sun was shining and the temp outside was 22 degrees.
A good day to take the Crossfire out for some winter pics.
I went to Cantigny Golf Course and found a unplowed area of the parking lot.
Then a few more pics at the McDowell Grove Forest Preserve.
