Woody! Bring your Flux capacitor. I could use a little time in the fifties.

That assumes, of course, that I can get my wimpy NA up to 88 MPH.

I look forward to meeting.

Better than the flux capacitor, Ill be getting the shippment of my 'Stellar' batteries from overseas and hope to get the initial installation by the first of April.

A friend that works as embassy security in D.C. has a link with some European suppliers (Soviet) from the old ussr. THey are possibly as good as the flux cap, but at 0.8 Kilo each will save me some real weight as 4 will be used to replace my battery for some 7 or 8 pounds total. Hope to have it ready to go but shipping may wiggle the startup date.

See ya all there with the new hood, it is getting ready for the paint this week if I can heat the garage enough, were due for 8" of snow tonight. Eitherway its cut and functional now, and thats a Taa DAAAA.

Enjoy Woody

We all look forward to meeting you pal. Just don't hit the mountain too hard. It always wins that fight.

One more point, we are all young in our Crossfires. Getting old is inevitable and manditory. Growing up and acting old is not!

onelove, looks like we will be holding down that end of the age spectrum. I am 25, my gf is 23.

I am wondering what the average age of fellow dragon visitors is for this year?

(And I want real ages here gentlemen, not the usual, 'I feel like I'm 18 again when I drive it' LOL)

Biker David, (Dave and Barb) New Alexandria, PA '06 black roadster limited. I just made reservations at Fontana Village for the spring rally. I was going to do this a year ago but things cropped up and I never made it. The road is famous for its turns in a short distance but I have only done it on my Harley. The car should be fun also. I guess I have to uncover it soon.

Hey John, I think you'll find that most of the attendees at any Crossfire event average in the mid-late fourties. There's usually a good representation of the 50-somethings and a smattering of 30-somethings. And always a few others outside that range. But I'd say the average is mid/late fourties.

HAHA, nothing wrong with that, just means you have more 'wisdom' to impart on us young bucks. Hopefully there are others out there that after a long day of enjoying our XFs will be down to do some drinking and bu11shitting, as I will certainly be part of this group LOL.

Is there anyone going to the dragon that I could pay / talk into helping me do the seatbelt chime mod? I am in and out of my car often and wear my seatbelt always, but sometimes when moving it or just in and out, it isn't easy to put the belt back on and that chime is so annoying I think it is haunting my dreams haha. Anyone willing to help / take over the quick job would be much appreciated. THANKS.

John

Enjoy your trip. You might want to take a look at Trailof the Dragon.com.

Looks like the cops have gone nuts.

Be careful, and have fun.
