In resposnse to pictures of my recent addition - I hope I have done this correctly and attached some of her shots - bit of a technophobe - so apologies if it takes a while or I need to try again. I live in Nottingham in the UK if there is any one local who can stand a decent coffee I am always up fro an exscuse.

 

Nice car!

Can you see any volcanic ash from your location?

 

We have great members from the UK. I'm sure they will contact you for a GTG soon.

 

Nice Pics Im in Herts. Just 5 mins from Stanstead Airport and the skies are Pure Blue with not a cloud in sight yet NO FLIGHTS LOL. I suppose safety first hey!.

 

Nah - not yet - but its really spooky not seeing any planes int the sky - and - its very quiet here too - they should ground them more often - lol....

Glad you like the pics - she is pretty special.

 

I'm in Manchester and I think I test drove that car... the cars in the BG look familar!

 

And you didnt buy it??????

 

No, I wanted to see some more - I ended up viewing six in total. Also, they wouldn't give me what I wanted for my car in part-ex.

Nice ride and their garage is rather hard to find isn't it!! Some nice cars in there...

 

We drove loads before settling on this one - the garage was a nightmare to find - it looks like it was the same motor - I am chuffed with the purchase and she is as sound as a pound.

 

It was definetly a sweet ride. Congrats on your purchase mate and if there's a UK 'Xfire meetup I can make; maybe see you there?

 

Being in the USA, it's quite odd to see a Right-Hand Drive XFire. I did see something that is a little odd. DC went to all the trouble to re-arrange the dash for the right side, but didn't take the time or effort to put the E-brake on the drivers side of the cab? Still, she's a beauty.

 

I found that to quite odd as well. Probably a bean counter decision.

 

I wouldn't say they go through that much 'trouble'... remember that it's standard practice to make cars with the wheel on both sides. The UK isn't the only country that drives on the left. Whenever someone Stateside buys a Toyota or Nissan, the wheel has had to be swapped over.

I agree though, about the handbrake. What's odd is that it's actually really easy to reach there; it just looks quite odd.

 

That, and your passenger always has a "say"

 

That's a scary thought! hehe

 

Thanks - I drove lots of others and the body work on this one is particulalry good. Would be great to meet up at some point - I have a mate in Urmston that I visit regularly - if your in that area and fancy a coffee come summer time - drop us a thread. Have you posted shots of your purchase?

 

No shots yet but will do asap. For sure, meet up; there's another member here who comes up, not far from Manchester so come summer - maybe a small meet and drive is in order.

 

Sounds great man - look forward to your shots when youve got some ready - I am sure she is sweet - yep - summer buzz sounds great - I will watch this space and look forward to the weather being good!
