Hello!
 

Hi,
I’ve just been referred here by Beeblebrox - I'd just joined what is apparently a fairly inactive Yahoo group. I'm in the UK, and it seems that I'm in a fairly small minority there.

I'm a new Crossfire owner - I bought an '06 model last month. I upgraded from an eight year old Skoda Felicia - and the difference is incredible. I'm having to unlearn a lot of habits which worked in the Skoda but which aren’t necessary or just plain wrong in the Crossfire. It's a great car to drive - I've taken it all kinds of places the last four weekends. I work from home, so a daily commute doesn’t happen. I do some business driving, but the bulk of my car travels are leisure - and having a car that's comfortable to drive just adds to those trips. It's also a lot of fun to take out - I have been finding some pretty lame excuses to drive it places!

It's a bit of a head turner as well - I've noticed people looking at it as I drive it, and I’ve even been asked about it by a complete stranger. I've not had that kind of attention since I gave up the Morris Minor. Do Crossfire drivers wave at each other when they pass? When I had a Morris, it was the done thing. I can't say that I've shared the road with another Crossfire here (though there do seem to be a couple around the town).

You do that wave when driving?? :o

Re: Hello!
 

I'm glad you decided to join this forum, it is much more active than the other one ! As well as the social aspect there is a lot of information here which has helped me with decisions like tyres, looking after the car etc. I have posted on subjects like extended warranties to share any information i have. I use mine daily averaging about 12,000 miles per year now, so these things are important to me !

I'm going to the next meet in July which will be my first, looking forward to it and hope to see you there if you can make it.

cheers,

Paul

Re: Hello! the Wave!
 

Hi Paul..The Xfire wave started as a bit of fun. Like you with the Morris, I had a Marcos V6 and us owners always waved. I have used the Xfire Wave, and in return received some strange looks!! as its not the normal standard raised hand wave. Our wave is really a bit of fun between us current Xfire owners. Its more like the way the USA forces service's salute..but its make for a smile.

Cheers
Ken. :cool:
