Can't wait for sunday
Me and my bird are taking a one way flight up to Scotland to pick up our New Black Crossfire SRT 6 nd then driving 360 miles back to Essex with it :D

Re: im so excited
 

congrats. That should be one fun trip home! Enjoy it every mile!

Re: im so excited
 

Yes it should be 7 hours none stop driving experience, Maybe a quick coffee break inbetween ;)

Re: im so excited
 

7 hours in a Crossfire!?! I had no idea there was that much realestate in the British Isles.:p

Sounds like a load of fun. Enjoy your new toy.

Regards

Re: im so excited
 

There's coffee in Britain?

I had a similar experience picking mine up... drove 500 mi total! It was a nice honeymoon :) Congrats on the new car!

Re: im so excited
 

Yes pretty much one end of the country to the other ;)

I've never driven that far before so should be interesting, I'm going to take all my cd's I've been meaning to listen to

Re: im so excited
 

Yes we have coffee (even starbucks), countryside and lots of rain :p

Did you drive in 1 day? What mpg on motorway driving should I expect do you think?

Re: im so excited
 

yup all done in one day! drove there, drove back with two cars, and made it back in time for work!

i got about 24 mpg on the trip if i recall correctly. US gallons of course .

every time you hit warp speed though, the fuel gauge goes down a notch. :eek:

Re: im so excited
 

Congrats! You are going to love it!

Re: im so excited
 

you are gonna have a blast congrats

Re: im so excited
 

Congratulations, and welcome to the forum. You will enjoy this ride, and have some great GTGs with our UK friends. They're a good bunch.:cool: :D

Re: im so excited

Ybesty, I drove 1110 miles (round trip) to pick up my new 04 Crossfire starting on "April Fools Day" 2005. (Some Z owners would probably say "how appropriate".):rolleyes:
Had a great time "bonding" with my new car. I'm sure it will be a fun time for you. Take some photos along the way for your scrap book. (you will be glad you did).;)
By the way, what kind of car is that in your Avatar?
Welcome to the forum.

Re: im so excited
 

Yep I remember that day too. That will have been 4 years ago in about 2 weeks !

Re: im so excited
 

That should be a beautiful drive, i bet you will have a lot of fun!

Re: im so excited
 

Welcome to SRT-6 ownership and hope you can get used to 16mpg town and 24mpg on a run like I have with my new SRT-6 Roadster that I bought after test driving car you have just bought. I am assuming you bought black coupe from Stirling previously at a branch in Kilmarnock. I prefer coupe especially in black but decided on Roadster as always wanted a convertible. Hope you enjoy the car and if you ever want to compare notes / chat about any problems then drop me a note.

Cheers
John

Hi John, yes got the car from stirling, had a lovely drive down the A1. What a fantastic car. Do you know much about this car
When i picked him up the ABS LIGHT was on, the steering wheel was not straight and if that wasn't enough the was a very slight winding coming from the rear wheel bearing, so booked him in at the merc/chrysler for the ABS light and a health check, They done the light, sorted the geometry out and put new wheel bearings on all under the warranty,

Re: i'm so excited
 

Thats wierd

I bought my SRT from scotland and drove it back to kent ! part exchanged the old crossfire when i got there!

Glad you got back ok

the guys here would like to know the last 6 or some numbers of the vin, they like to see where it is in the factory run.

hope you enjoy it as much as i have, make sure you do a track day with it
