Hi from the UK
Just got a 2004 Roadster and I'm enjoying it a lot
Makes quite a change from my Skoda Octavia which I had for 7 years (5 door hatch for those who don't know), but apparantly I'm now old enough for a mid life crisis! Some interesting similarities and big differences between the two cars - both are about the same power, do about the same to the gallon, but driving couldn't be much more different. The Skoda was practical and the Crossfire isn't, but its much more fun. Just need to warm up the weather over here now (5degrees C this morning) and get rid of a cold

Re: Hi from the UK
There should be a softcopy of the manual on the forum -- do a search. If you can't find it, send to me an email at jjaiven@chartermi.net and I can forward the file (I think I downloaded it but I am not on my own laptop right now). I rented a Skoda when I went from Germany to the Czech Republic. Not a bad little car, kind of a knock-off of a VW, but nothing like a XF roadster.
