First I'm sorry for my poor English.
I'm Michel from Paris in France, I bought a xfire roadster (SSB) last summer.
It's really a very pleasant car.
Before I owned an Opel Speedster (it's the same base as the Lotus Elise).

Congratulation and thanks for this fantastic forum I found many informations on it.

Regards
Michel

 

Hi Michel and welcome! Have fun on here!

 

Welcome. Did your speedster have the same turbo enjine as the Vauxhall vx 220? I believe the Vauxhall (another lotus clone) does 0-60 in 4 flat.

 

Welcome Michel.......heck, we don't use good English most of the time so you should fit right in with the rest of us.

 

Welcome to the forums, Michael. You'll find the people here real friendly and very informative.

Welcome here Michel,
Lots of good stuff here and lots of good photos too.
Enjoy your Crossfire and visit often, Gary

 

Welcome to the forum. Love the color and the roadster.

 

Bonjour Michel
Love your city. I had the chance to visit there last October. I would not be driving my crossfire around the Arch de Triomphe any time soon, I sat for nearly an our watching drivers play dodgem cars around that landmark. Can we get some photos of the xfire in front of the Eifel Tower maybe?

Time to strap a camera to the front of your Crossfire for some Rendezvous action.

Thanks to all for your welcome messages!!!

For R.S the wauxhall is exactly the same car as the Opel Speedster (GM group).

It's a fantastic car I use it for 3 years and 80 000 km.
There are 2 models one is 2.2 atmo and the other is the 2 liters turbo. The stock car is about 200 HP for 900kg and most of the french speedsters with the stage 2 are about 250 HP.

 

Hello from New York!

 

Welcome and dare I ask this, how much is fuel in France?

 

The fuel is about 1€40 for one liter ....... it's very expensive
The $/€ rate is one Euro = 1,56 $ So one liter = 2,18 $.

Last time I was in United States the gallon was less than one buck

How much is it now ?

 

welcome... from Houston

 

In my state, premium is now about $4.25 per gallon.

 

Congratulations and welcome to our forum!

 

Welcome to the forum, Michel.

You'll have to post photos of your Crossfire in Paris.
Anton (Reactivator) has some nice shots of his in St Petersburg.

 

Hi and welcome to the Crossfire Forum...did you just say a gallon of gas in US dollars is less than $2...?

 

No.. Michel said a liter = $2.18 not a gallon

Which = approximately $8.29 per U.S. gallon..

 

Gotcha - figure that out after I typed...we just hit $4 in Cleveland for regular...won't be driving the big truck - but man, can't resist tooling around in my Roadster just for fun - of course, wasting precious fossile fuel...

 

I just post the first pictures of my car
I'll try to have some pictures of the Xfire in front of the famous monuments in Paris.

If I remember the gallon was about 1 $ in 2001 ?

The price in France is very high taxes are about 90%.
