.....The more I look at these Crossfire ragtops, the more I think they have to be one of the nicest looking ragtops ever!

Crying shame that these and the coupe's are no longer made. I still feel they would sell now!


...Sry - I meant to put this in the Roadster section!.....

White wine strikes again!......

 

Yeah i get people admiring an asking me if my car is a new model out , they are shocked when i tell em its 12years old !

Goods looks never go out of style , they just go.
well in my case they did haha

Cheers !
a nice Australian Merlot here

 

I get several comments on my ssb coupe and they can't believe it is a 04, they always think it is brand new.

Haha, I have alot of good wineries by me.
I like a port aged in bourbon barrel.
In my travels, found a winery by Jim bean that ages there port 6 years in bourbon barrel,
Really good

 

Yes a good Port is lovely too

 

Trouble is..

In the UK, people can tell how old your car is due to the registration plate system. Unless of course, you pay to purchase a private plate!

 

hmm , class distinction 101 ? haha
I have a private/custom plate , it costs me about 65 sterling a year extra.
how much is it there ?

 

Depends on the exclusivity of the plate / what it says. The are bought & sold here.
For example, something like TUR8O would cost a fortune (that plate was on a Porsche in London). Something that doesn't necessarily mean anything may only be a couple of hundred. It's a one off purchase and transfer though.

 

How about SRT666 ? looks grt on my 6 ,gets the god botherers sweaty tho

btw, You in Hampshire? i went to skool in Camberley ,back when it was mostly pine forests !

 

That plate would be a lot of money here!

I'm about 20 mins from Camberley buddy.
And I work in Farnborough..

 

wow my first proper job was in Farnborough ,trainee computer operator IBM sys 3. haha

 

Plates here in Pa. $20, one time purchase that's it. The plate SRT666 would not be sold here, nothing satanic, cult, offensive in any way.

 

FtI was at the air show in Farnborough in 1961, I saw the English Electric P1, soon to be called the Lightning when in service, do a low pass at high speed, it shook the fillings in your teeth. A friend was there some years earlier when the DH 110 broke up in the air, the bits just missed him.

 

Guns are ok tho eh

 

Right on. Two lines of defence, bore someone to death with bible quotations or shoot them.

 

I'm a technical engineer in a data centre - mainly the cooling systems..

 

We've had a white roadster for 6 years now and last week another guy told me what a beautiful car I had. I'm not sure any of them know what it is, but the design is timeless beauty to me top up or down.
What a keeper I love it.

 

 

I'll second that!! I have a 2005 alabaster with black and white interior. People ask me about it all the time.
