Hi Badad!

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on the Xfire!

I was just in Cape Town in January for a business trip. I loved being in your country; it was beautiful and the weather was fantastic compared to where I'm from. Driving on the other side of the road took some getting used to, but by the end of my trip I was driving like a local!

Here is a picture of me at the hotel. Cheers!

It is absolutely gorgeous there, especially the Cape. Here is one more picture showing Cape Point, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet.....

Wow! Cape Town. You must have the only one in the city. Just curious as to how many Crossfires you've seen in South Africa? Welcome.

Hello all. Sent a reply back off my Blackberry but can not see anything .Maybe not looking properly? or does not work off mobile? I'm new to this! Thanks to everyone for the replies.I see blast chamber has good taste in cars AND hotels.I hope the locals looked after you! Thank you for the visit.Yes,xfs are a rare beast here especially the SRT. The stan 3,2 lost resale quick,so good second hand buy ,I paid R165000, about US20000 with 80k on the clock. New they were R450 000. The SRT has not suffered this. They have held their value better than the AMG32 Merc (old shape). Still all xfs are rare,get stares and whoooooos! all the time! The weather is shocking at the moment but will do some photos around and about ,soon. Thanks for all the interest guys. South Africans(I'm Zimbabwian but live here) have been "brain washed " negatively regarding American cars!? Little do they know! Chryslers' fault,should of told them it was 99% German! Marketing! Ford has the same problem here-they are their own worst enemy! Supper time for me.Cheers all.Thanks again.
