I own 4 designs/files, the basic Roadster or Coupe with the word -C-R-O-S-S-F-I-R-E under them, another is the oval with one of the cars over, the other under the same word. The last is an Woodward Dream Cruise design. I don't have an SRT 6 logo design/file which I believe is the p roblem members have had. Shirt a Day did not work this out? If anyone has info please PM me or tom2112.
I'm working on getting items (shirts, hats, jackets and bags/totes) for embroidery work on my site. The selection to choose from is very good, even these with a car theme of sorts-


Did some checking today. The main problem for the SRT 6 folks is the logo. I think tom2112 has worked hard to get it, I'll talk with him. If you have a SRT 6 logo of your own making that would help. I know you want the "offiical one" though, not to mention the old one or the new one debate as well.
Setting that aside the next problem is time. It can seem like there is plenty, but things that need to be done, like digitizing, are hired out (someone elses time) so.............

a NON SRT 6 polo ready for the Dragon is much more likely and I believe Shirt A Day was offering some products. I'd be glad to jump in but in fairness to them, I can't just blow them off (nice guys are finishing last here) I will keep working on it, but if Shirt A Day has what you want, go ahead and support them with an order, then BUY a mug from me!!!

When my shirts are ready I'll post it and you can choose. I personally like my embroidered interpretation of the Roadster better than theirs, but thats an opinion and you know what is said about those.

I will have jackets, tees, polos, hats and totes/bags. Get a bag, you will have a place to carry your mug while your in your XF Tee shirt and jacket wearing your FX hat.

OK I'm happy to announce that we have planned a SATURDAY NIGHT BBQ !!!
The idea was mentioned by a few at the fall meet last year.
We have been doing a great deal of planning to make this happen for all the folks attending.
I have made arrangements with the Fontana Lodge to have use of a very big Charcoal Griil
and also a indoor dining area on the lodge property called "The Chestnut Room"
We plan to grill Hamburgers and Hot Dogs for EVERYONE.
We also will have some Veggie Burgers for our Vegetarian members.
We will also be providing some sides and of course all the condiments.
Regular and Diet Soft Drinks will also be provided...... BYOB

I'm also pleased to announce that some of the costs for this BBQ are being funded by CICCI.
CICCI wanted to sponsor part of our weekend event and together we agreed that a Crossfire BBQ night was just the thing to bring us together and have some fun without our cars.
I look forward to having everyone attend and I'm certain it will be a great evening.


A $$ Donation box will be at the BBQ and we welcome any donations for this event

Heavy rain here in Detroit area today. Reminds me of a certain storm last year.....

Tom2112 and I talked about the SRT 6 polos. He is working towards getting some in time for the Spring Dragon. If you have an interest please PM Tom ASAP.

ATTENTION all bakers and people of good will---
Can any of you make a few dozen cookies for the BBQ? The real issue becomes who drives a coupe or a roadster. Coupes can bring two dozen where as roadsters can bring two cookies

The missus is capable of baking up a storm & she'll commit to bringing a couple of dozen. What do you folks prefer? Her oatmeal & raisin cookies are faves but she's not a slouch when it comes to chocolate chip.
Or peanut butter.

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS AT THE DRAGON !!

I just got off the phone with Dave (owner) of US129.com
They were the ones that took all our photographs last fall and made them available to purchase on their website.

I am pleased to announce that they will be back again to do our photo shoot at the Fontana Dam on Saturday morning from 10:00 until we leave for our run ([approx 11:30)
They will be taking group shots of our cars and of us as a group.
They will also be taking individual shots with you and your Crossfire if desired.

And how cool is this.....
They will be present at 5:00 back at the lodge to cover our BBQ Saturday night !!
That's right photos at the BBQ and joining us for some dinner off the grill !!!

And as always they will be capturing us on the turns on the Dragon throughout the weekend and posting all of our pics on a designated link for
"The Crossfire Group" on their website.
A Discount code will be made available for purchases of photos from their website.

OK what kind of Americans are living "down there"? Peanuts are grown in the South, shoot Jimmy Carter not only grows them, he's a Southerner and he looks like the Mr. Peanut guy on the jar. Next thing you will be saying is marshmallow bars are a Northerner thing too or Coney dogs.

Spent all of today on these, any color in Roadster or Coupe.............
