Crossfire number three landing next Weds! After a lot of hassle and lots of phone callls, I finally got this one sorted. Off to collect from Belfast next Weds

 

Well done Steve, glad you got it sorted, look forward to seeing it in the flesh

 

that does look nice

 

Yeah!!!!! makes you wona go out and buy a new one

 

Hey so do I its like waiting for Christmas!!!

 

quite, especially an SRT6!! Thing is though I've made an agreement with SWMBO, I intend to try and keep the XF which (hopefully) will make way for a 2012 Challenger R/T or SRT8 in a couple of years (if I can save enough!) - and SWMBO will end up with the XF (win/win)

 

Nice looking car steve, glad to see you bought the best colour :0)

 

HI Steve great looking car youv'e choosen best colour by far, Sharon said you only bought one to come back to the meetings...hahaha..

 

Well as always she is quite right! Its worth all the expense, the hassle and the stress just to see you at the meets! Lets face it, I could only get away with turning up in my Astra Estate for soo long ha ha!! Hope to see you soon, but just been offered a good days work on 13th so will not make it to the Pod unless its re arranged due to weather!

 

Hey Paul you know my first XF was Aero Blue and though I did get converted to red I still believe the blue is fantastic. If I remember rightly, I believe the Aero Blue cars were widely accepted as the fastest Crossfires as well!!!

 

All the best with the collection Steve, hope it turns out good & the fine looking beast will soon be in your driveway. Guess the first time we get to see it will be in the Golden Phesant car park, if you cant make to Pod.

 

Absolutly true, somthing to do with the polymers in the paint!

 

erm...... excuse me!!!!!! what a load of twadle we all know BLACK is the fastest colour

 

Henry Ford was correct..BLACK is the best and only colour for a Crossfire!!. and RED is the next..can't upset my mate xfchris.

Ken
I noticed the 2006 SRT6 markings with the emblems on the front fender, when you gat a chance, please provide the VIN# (serial#) for our tracking database (sticky) in the SRT6 section of the forum. As of this date, we have 50 of those rare 2006's listed at this time.
Good luck with your purchase.....
Thanks,

hi ken think you got the red and black round the wrong way.......especially when it comes to cleaning them...think i`ll keep my N/A coupe these SRT`s are getting too common......seriously steve great looking car glad you got it all sorted out in the end....chris

 

No no no, now i don't want to get into an argument about this, but apparently the colour black and Red are of course are solid colours, and they do have drag properties the actually slow the cars down, even the SRT's are slower than the standard Blue Roadster, i'm only talking out of experience as i kept overtaiking them on the way down to Laon, of course Steve was cheating, cos his red coup was so shiny he tried to Dazzle us off the road, but i soon put pay to that with my polarised glasses, as for Mikes SRT and Startec, we kept overtaking them because they had to stop to clean the flies off the cars, because the weight of them slowed them down , and being black they were not shiny enough to deflect the little critters , plus Mike and his boys were too busy looking at the ladies and losing concentration! its not exactly scientific, i know but if you guys have anything to add please feel free!

Soooo looking forward to Laon lol

 

Yes Paul I agree, and just last week I was reading an article about how black and red cars also suffer from greater wind resistance as well and how blue cars have virtually no wind rersistance at all so they are bound to be faster! If you think about, thats why the famous Blue Bird speed record car was Painted blue! It was a very good article in the " April 1st" edition of Hot Hatch

 

Steve, that never occured to me, and makes total sense, and i'll bet there were no flies on the blue bird either,

 

Glad you finally got it Steve....in the best colour too!

(Hope I'll be ok for matching paint now too...... if I get any scratches?!!)
