Hello fellow members, may I introduce myself.....My name is Paul Hassell (No Hassles with Hassell) and I live in the South West of Western Australia in a Town called Bunbury which fronts the beautiful Indian Ocean (bottom left hand side when looking at the map of Australia).

I am a young 65yo and over the years I have owned a number of great cars both in the UK & Oz including a 1968 RED series 2 'E type' Roadster, Triumph TR4, a TR5, BMW 30si, Pontiac Firebird, a 1970 Reliant Scimitar and have just sold my beloved Subaru 1995 SVX Coupe to make way for this great new addition, the SRT6.

Car bought: A September 2007, Auto, 50K kilometers, Sapphire Silver de-badged Crossfire SRT6 Coupe in mint unmarked condition.



I bought the 1 owner Coupe from a very fastidious Guy who succumbed to buying a Porsche 911 Turbo for a change! I am very happy he did

I added the Private Number Plates 'YOUNEEK' - quite apt I thought?

I look forward to becoming a future contributing Forum member.

Hi fellow Crossfire owners:
Have been looking for a Crossfire for several years.
In 2011 I finally sold my Harley and purchased a 2005 Black SRT6 Roadster with 7,300 original miles.
Good By Harley - welcome to this awsome sports car.
Found the car on the internet and bought it sight unseen in Houston Texas
I live on the east cost of Canada - Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island so had the car shipped to Philidelphia and my wife and I flew down and picked it up.
Dove (flew) it 1,500 miles - North East over the next four days to get it home.
Much more car than I ever dreamed it would be.
Washed and waxed it a hundred time and she looks GREAT.
Drove a 1000 miles in the summer of 2013 - she now has 12,500 miles on the odometer.
She is safely store away for the winter and can hardly wait to get her out.
Been buying bling all winter and can hardly wait to get her all dressed up.
Looking for a tire pump and a solution to the engine service light that won't go out. - Chrysler dealer was little help other than to say it was problem with secondary air inlet. Anyone know the solution??
Look forward to hearing from you.
Dave

secondary air injection pump error code? Yes, there has been a lot of discussion on that topic DRAiton. Just use the search feature and look for those discussions and the fix. Welcome aboard Paul "NO" Hassell from OZ.... I have got to get down there before I die. NOW, if you can figure out why they put the steering wheel on the wrong side, let me know....Paul. DRAiton....when you find the topic, you will find there is a "guy" on here who can put a new relay in for you...and fix your problem. I have been up there to a company called Walinga who manufacture truck parts for us. It's cold up there man....

Hi. New to the forum. We bought an Alabaster 2005 Limited in November. It's such a great car and way too much fun. It took me less than a week to get my first ticket in over 30 years. Have been researching options for the car, this seems to be the best place to get advice and solutions to problems. I look forward to many years of enjoyment out of "Bianca" big plans if the budget holds up.

Paul - nice looking ride - welcome aboard!! From the pic you posted, has the car been lowered or are you running a slightly taller rear tire?

DRAiton - 7.300 miles on the 6 in 2011??? Heck of a find!! Sounds like you like to drive her more than the previous owner

Gymbag - I'm sure you weren't speeding ... law enforcement just targets these cars because they look like they're speeding even when they are sitting still!!

Welcome to both of you and congrats on your SRT-6's. I have only been here about a year but, I have learned so much about these cars from the wealth of knowledge on these pages and in the heads of fellow members here. You will no doubt do the same.

Hi everyone:
Thanks for the warm welcome to the forum
Glad to find that there are other car crazy Xfire owners out there.
Been on the site looking at all the photos that have been submitted - some awesome machines and lots of ideas for us new comers.
Saw a license plate holder that I really liked. It read Crossfire now off my Bucket List - or something similar.
Does anyone know where this can be purchased. My wife thought it filled the bill and hit the mark. Cute
DRAiton
