Default Chicagoland meet photos 10/21/07

(7) Seven Crossfire and owners got together today for lunch and a cruise. We met at Champps in Schaumburg and then headed to Lake Zurich to Hackney's for lunch. Then we continued on up to Volo, Ill to the Volo Auto Museum. We received a bit of attention as we rolled into the parking lot and drove through to the back where we parked for some pictures. We had five SRT6 Crossfires and two Coupes. The weather was great as it was sunny and 77 degrees which is unseasonably mild for this time of the year.

Many thanks to those who attended today...

Gary and the gang - The cars together looked wonderful! You needed more color white, yellow, red and gold. We took a 60 mile ride and drank beer today to show our support.

Thanks for posting the pics. Me and the wife had a blast. We took the back roads all the way home and had a great drive. Too bad the weather is getting bad but next spring we will have to do a few more of these. Everybody that showed up was real friendly and all the cars looked great. Keep in touch.

Matt thanks for getting this G.T.G. started and Gary thanks for pulling it all together, Janet and myself had a great time. I must admit I was a little leery about going, since I'm not a real people person, but everyone was totally cool and real friendly. I look forward to the next one, not sure if we can squeeze one more in this year or not but if it turns into next year then I'll be there. To anyone who didn't go because they weren't sure if they'd have fun or not, I say give the next one a chance I think you'll like the folks you'll meet. Riot your parents are way cool and maybe I'll run into you at the Island if I don't see you before that. It was good meeting everyone.

Thanks for this post and encouraging others to attend in the future.
I would have never guessed you were not a people person though.
It was a good day and I intend to continue trying to organize these meets and I to encourage others to come out and join us.

Sorry I missed this one, by the looks of it everyone had a great time and enjoyed themselves.

However... I didn't see FP's XFire, so now I don't feel so bad about missing this one!

It looks like you guys had a great time. Thanks for posting the news and the photos. Every time I get the chance to meet a Crossfire owner they turn out to be really good people. Maybe there is something special about driving a Crossfire !. If any of you ever find your way to texas be sure to let us at CTC (https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ad.php?t=17931) know, We would love to hook up with you.

I don't know if anyone got a picture of it, but my wife got a laugh out of it.

I'm down with a meet too if one gets setup, we still have a few nice days left.
