We are new members. I purchased a 2005 black Limited Roadster last Month on Ebay. The intent was to resell the car at a profit. We drove from Charleston SC to Atlanta to pick up the car. My wife drove it back.

The car will not be sold. My wife fell in love with this roadster and will not let it go. I miust admit it is a fun car.

We have made reservations at the lodge and look forward to the meet.

Please add us to the drivers list. We will only sell if I could aford an SRT6 Roadster ( Someday ) I should also add this is a great forum to learn more and spend more $$ to keep up with all the upgrades members are doing to improve their cars. I want to do the same. Thanks

Great News, Great Story!
(BTW, that same thing would probably happen 9 out of 10 times, with the XFire)

I'll put you down, (Or your Wife, Ladies Division?) Down on the List as #56.

& thanks for joining the Happy Crowd of XFire owners, See you there.....

& Congratulations on the Great "New" Roadster & Welcome to the Forum!

My Best!
Bill (SF)

Hello SilverFox and all you Crossfire guys and gals!

My name is Brian - I was led here from TailoftheDragon.com and just wanted to say hello...

It looks like we will be sharing the area with you guys for part of our meet, as I drive a VW R32 and we too are planning our (2nd Annual) slaying of the Dragon. We are going to do our best to stay out of your way, but I have to say, I know very little about your cars and I am looking forward to seeing you guys in action.

I literally just wanted to stop in and say Hi - looking forward to the trip (this will be my second) as this year promises to be (just like you group) a bigger group of R32's than was present last year. If you are interested, information can be found here about our GTG and we have a catered BBQ (calling it an .:RBQ ) as well, info for which can be found here.

I would imagine that if you guys and gals are so entusiastic about your Crossfires, that you may be quite interested in cars as well - perhaps you know the R32, perhaps you do not. we are a heavil modded group running the gambit of what has been done to these rare cars (5000 produced for teh US in 2004, another 5000 in 2008 on the newer chasis). To start, we were all the same - 250 HP AWD's in a VW Golf body, but with a more aggressive independent rear suspension. These cars are a blast to drive, and I sincerely hope that you guys enjoy us as much as I think we will enjoy you...

Lastly, should any of you get seperated from your group or just want to cruise, feel free to say helo or join us for a run or even a ride. We are a nice bunch and are looking forward to this as much as you are!!

Looking forward to seeing you and your Crossfires slay that beast!!

Have a great, safe time~

Brian

Hey Brian,

Thanks so much for checking in with us!

So your car is another Rare Breed, as are our SRT6s with less than 3000 Worldwide & the Roadsters are less than 1000. (75,000 total Crossfires WorldWide)

Thanks also for your kind invites, we will be staying at the Fontana Village.
Where are you all staying, & what is your guess of your # of cars for the meet?
Also what days are you running the Dragon?

We'll be watching out for you on the Weekend of April 4th, Let the Races Begin!

My Best,
Bill (SilverFox)

April 5-6



The V W Vortex Returns to the Dragon V W R32's





Here's a Few Comments from their site about us:

"Any update on the crossfire site? They ready to lose the king of the hill with almost 70 cars signed up? "

"Roll call updated... 0-63 and counting
I`ll work out a scedule in the coming week, i`m going to work around the corssfire guys their scedule, no reason to be in eachother way.
I was thinking to post up on their forum, scare them a little
Maybe i should add another 100+ to our roll call before i do post... "

"Edwin, did you ever accept my bet? $1 still on the table says we meet the hopeful number - 70 The Crossfire club is definitely in for a treat."

"wow just realized we are gonna have 50 non R's to contend with at TOD. That could suck cause they have slower inferior handling cars than us "

"Looks like the crossfires have almost caught us in car count.
I was checking the crossfire forum the other day and they only had maybe 30 cars coming.
https://www.crossfireforum.org/...19760
This is gonna be a awesome! "

"I wonder if they know that we`ll be there, i was looking over their thread and noboby mentioned it.
They will be suprised to see 60+ roaring R32`s"

"Now those frisky Crossfire guys - THAT's another story but they're staying at another location (I read their TOD threads cause I'm nosey) so even those hoodlems should not cause us any distress."

"I psyched about these numbers - this is going to be an exciting / FUN trip!! The Crossfires will no doubt wonder about the roar..."

"We are Definitley beating the Crossfire club as far as turnout, i have been spying on them also"

"I have to agree that this year we should try to cut back on the line crossing, especially since the Crossfire club will be present also."

"Has anyone else noticed we will be sharing the TOD with a bunch of Crossfires???? We'll have to show them how "true" German cars do it "

"They're almost as German as we are.
Those things are at least 99% Mercedes Benz.
The biggest difference is that they were built here in the U.S. --Chuck--"

"I didnt notice that the crossfires will be joining us, until a couple days ago that was not on the calander... ooh well we have the best hotel"

That's All Folks!
