Hello everyone, I have just taken possession of a 04 Crossfire or rather, she seems to have taken possession of me.

I have been a Ford Cougar 2.5 VT owner for the past 8 years and thought I would never find a car that grabbed my attention as much as the Cat did, That was until last week.

I was nosying on Ebay for cars that were automatic and within 30 miles of where I lived. The only car that grabbed my attention was the XFire.
My husband has wanted me to downsize the Cougar for a little while now -
Unfortunately, he wasn't specific enough!
I went down in width, height and length . He did not mention engine size

I managed to talk him into going to have a" look" at the XFire. He was smitten and yesterday we got her!

All week I had been upset at parting with the Cougar, but yesterday I dropped her off and bid her farewell.
The XFire was ready to collect and I actually drove away with hardly a backward glance. I took the XFire for a drive last night and the grin on my face convinced me that I had made a great choice.

My car reg is LC04 ***... to be known as Elsie. Hence my forum name.

My real name is Jacquie Stewart - my husband should have known I would not be content with a Fiesta!!

Anyway, after going on so much, I do hope I will be welcomed and look forward to meeting you all soon.
Pity I cannot make the meet this weekend.

 

Welcome Jackie! Congrats on your "new" Crossfire!

Enjoy the ride.

 

HI Jackie...Welcome, I look forward to meeting you and Elise! at future UK meets..Keep an eye on the UK Crossfire site..lots of xfire info.

Regards

Ken.

 

Hi Jacquie

Great to see you here and at CICCI - look forward to meeting you at the meets! Hope you are having fun with your new car

Next meet 3rd October! Details to appear on website shortly!

Steve

 

Thanks Steve,
thought I best join both forums. May need the help if I encounter any problems.

Car is going well tho... loving the power and the admiring glances she gets!

Hope to get to a meet - are any ever up this way? Midlands, Lincolnshire S Yorks etc?

 

Virtually all the meets have been South as that's where most folks are from but we did have a very good one at Chatsworth last year. We also have several lady owners who now attend regularly. Now that we have at least 8 owners up here "in't north" I hope we can do something. I have contacts who wish to attend if we can do this, they are in York, Manchester, also a lady owner in Leeds, etc. Also a chap with a Red Roadster at Sturton By Stow. I reckon Chatsworth would be a good one to do again as a nice cruise in the Peak District can be included

 

Jacquie, welcome aboard, and congrats on your new ride. It's nice to see our UK membership grow.

 

Lets try to get together. Chatworth sounds good or Belton House or somewhere like that )

 

Hi FP
Its not only the UK membership that is growing!

I've moved up to a 46" waist since owning a Crossfire..It must be all the beer that Steve UK has forced me to consume, during past stay away xfire weekend meets

Chunky UK Ken.

 

belated welcome elsie from another newbie, only had mine since june and like you loving it.. hope to meet you at future meet, and isnt it great to see all those cicci tags under names...chris

 

Hey Chris, the membership of CICCI is growing and many users of this forum have migrated across to CICCI, leaving this one a lot quieter than it used to be. In fact seven new members have joined, or in process of joining, just from the UK group. We need to start posting some new threads in CICCI in the UK area and see it built up further.

 

Jacquie,
Welcome to the Forum......As you said "IF" you ever need help. These folks have the answer!
Have a Great ride and Enjoy!!!!

 

Nice to have the welcomes and great to know we have a good base for getting help.
You all seem a friendly lot so look forward to meeting some of you.

Jacquie x
