Cardstars

 

Right here in historic Little Canada (Saint Paul).

 

Maple Grove! Neighbor!

 

lakeville MN. wow 3 of us.

 

Rochester here!

 

we should all go to a car show or something all 4 of us.

 

Old thread, but I've just gotten my Crossfire so here we are, eh? I live in Houlton WisconSIN, just on the other side of the St. Croix River from Stillwater MinneSNOWta. I'm a Minnesota boy though, originally from Duluth. If all four of you are still hanging around here we definitely should get together this summer.

I could have you all over some Sunday for a cookout around our pool and then go for a ride around our nice wisconsin roads.

Late summer there is the "Wings & Wheels" car and bike show at Motorbooks International in Oceola Wisconsin. Always a great time there. A couple years ago I won best motorcycle with my old Moto Guzzi sidecar rig. I'd love to go there with a few other Crossfire people, otherwise I'll probably take my '83 AMC Eagle SX/4.

Maybe we need to have a Crossfire meet and draw in others from neighboring states?

Thoughts?

My SRT6 roadster and I live in Plymouth.

 

I'm game for meeting up let me know. I cant wait to get this thing out of storage. This weekend would have been perfect to get it out but I hear the freezing rain is on its way.

 

Looks like snow now! Possibly up to 10 inches. I'll believe it when I see it.

 

I am based in the Twin Cities, but am up NNW in Fergus Falls this weekend. Woke up to about six inches of snow over a thin coating of ice. I guess that Winter is not through with us yet!

 

One event that we should plan for is the annual "Wings & Wheels" at Motorbooks International in Osceola Wisconsin. Just 57 miles NE of Minneapolis. Maybe we could meet at my house in Houlton WI which is just across the river from Stillwater MN and drive up as a group. If we get there early they can give us a spot to display our cars together.

It is a FREE event, and you will see just about every kind of collector car from Ferrari to Mini, from antique Rolls Royce, to TVR, hot rods to street rods, even the Hummer club usually shows with a bunch of cars. Maybe 500 cars and bikes of all types. Motorbooks also puts out many of their titles at very cheap prices and I always drive away from there with a pile of books and calendars. There are judging and all in a very relaxed atmosphere.

MARK SEPTEMBER 8, 2007 ON YOUR CALENDAR.
http://www.motorbooks.com Mid summer they will post more information on the event on their site.

As we get closer to the event I will post more information here and maybe we can hook up.

Located in Blaine. Just bought a '05 SRT6 roadster in january. Driven 2 days and put in storage. Hoping this snow will go away so I can actually take it out.

 

I know exactly what you mean. I've had mine for over a week now and I've only been able to put 140 miles on it. It is snowing, ice and sleet right now and they are saying about 9 inches by tomorrow afternoon and more snow the next few days. But, another couple of weeks of this stuff and we will be able to see spring on the horizon. Can't wait.

I am in Edina, Just wondering if the folks that i saw down in savage are on this forum. Pulled up beside me in the left lane in savage on 2/18? My X-fire is black and I believe you were in a convertible? I am also looking for the guy that I used to talk with around Lake Calhoune last summer who owns the yellow convertible?

i am a new crossfire owner and live in minnesota. can you drive it in the wintertime? do you need different tires (i have the continentals)?

Welcome to the Crossfire Fold. I'd just bought my Crossfire Roadster in February so didn't get too much experience on snow covered roads, but what I did convinced me that I need snow tires for winter use. I also have the Continentals which are supposed to be "all season" tires but I suspect by "all season" they mean if you live in Arizona. I found them to be absolutely worthless in snow.

The subject of winter tires has been covered extensively in the Forum and if you go to the top of the page and hit "Search" and type in "Winter" you will find all the threads. As for myself, I picked up a set of the 18" standard wheels on e-Bay and I plan on mounting some "winter" tires on them so I can easily switch back and forth. I managed to get my set for about $100 each including shipping. One has to be vigilant to snag them at that price though as they often sell for much higher.

Hope to see you around one day. You can "subscribe" to the Minnesota X-Fires thread to get e-mail notifications when there is a post in this group.

Hey Guys,

Just bought my 50 mile 'new' SRT-6 Aero Blue coupe last month - just flipped over 2,000 miles the other day. Is anyone going to the Wings & Wheels deal in Oseola still? Might be able to talk my wife into going for the day.

 

Would be fun to drive up together. I live in Houlton WI, which is just across the bridge from Stillwater. How about we group up at my place.
Directions to my place are at:

It is Sept 8, 8:00-4:30

Will that work? Maybe meet here at 7:30? Or???
