Hi all

Hopefully taking delivery by this Friday of my '05 Roadster, in silver, manual, with 51000kms under her belt. Will make getting to sleep difficult for the next few nights....

Purchased from a Chrysler dealer here in Perth, West Australia for AUS$36000. We pay serious money here for US cars, given a new 3.2litre straight 6 roadster goes for AUS$76000, and the Aussie dollar is worth about US$0.95c....

Bound to look nice next to my Aprilia RSV1000 Mille in the garage!

Hi Justin,
Welcome to the forum. It's a great car... Enjoy the ride!

 

You will love it mate...and you have lots of places to go really fast too...welcome to the forum. Plenty of knowledge lives here...regards

 

Hello All,
I'm not sure if I am doing this correctly but I'm a new member and first time user of this forum! I bought a 2005 Crossfire Roadster LTD in aero blue just this past spring and I absolutely LOVE it! Fun to drive, very solid feeling and really good on gas! I told my husband when we bought it that it was my "middle- age CRAZY" car!
I just wanted to say hello to all, and I'll be reading a lot of old posts as well as the new ones to catch up on the Crossfire.

G'day! Congratulations on purchasing this decade's most interesting car, with the most unusual background!

 

Awesome! I traded my coupe in for a roadster today. I love it!

 

Welcome to the forum to both of you. I hope you get lots of trouble free miles.

 

Aprilia and VxFire,
A warm welcome to the forum.
Many miles with smiles to come for you.

Congratulations

 

Congrats and welcome to our forum, good luck with you're new ride.

 

Justin and Vickie,

Welcome, how about you attend the 2008 Woodward Dream Cruise! Justin all you have to do is get your car and have it transported to Detroit Michigan by Friday. Vickie interested in a really long drive?
Oh well,
enjoy-Rapps

 

Thats funny! Let me see, get it Friday night for an event I assume is during the day, or late day, on the other side of the world... I'm expecting her to be fairly fast, but she is no 'Back to the Future' DeLorean !!

Love to see some pics from anyone who gets there...

In the meantime, here is my girl. Apologies for the quality - from my Nokia. And yes - I will be changing the number plate!!!!

Justin

 

Congratulations on your new car and you'll love the info on this forum. I have to ask and sorry I'm so stupid "What side of the road to you drive on there?

 

Right, right? I checked out the steering wheel in the picture. A perfect looking car.

 

That would be AWESOME and I'm used to really long drives as my hubby is an over-the-road trucker! But... alas! Duty calls and 911 never sleeps but I'd love to make it another time! Thanks for the welcome from all of you, I'm enjoying this site immensely. Vickie

 

We drive on the left, hence right hand drive car - crazy isn't it?! On the plus side, I'm left handed, so changing gears with my left hand is very..... co-ordinated.

We are allowed to drive LHD cars here in WA though, as long as they are older than 10 years or so, and they don't require signage that they are LHD (they used to require dirty big lettering on the rear windscreen "CAUTION LEFT HAND DRIVE").

Most modern cars when originating from LHD countries offer a RHD version anyway - so no problems.

 

Congratulations and welcome to our forum!

 

And here is my girl, all settled in at home nicely, and getting to know her sister!

 

Very nice. You will have a wealth of knowledge at your fingertips with this forum. Everyone is very helpful for just about any topic. Most likely you will find there has been previous discussions about it.

Hi Steve

Yes - most helpful. I have already researched window tint, K&N air filter, fogging on headlights, leather cleaner, badges, illuminated sills...

 

Congrats on your new ride! I also just purchased a '05 limited today, one owner executives car, only 14000 miles for just under $16000 OTD. (6sp). I think I did good, car was perfect, not one flaw! I think the color is like a silver/blue metallic. Have to look it up. One thing I noticed is not a lot of after maket parts are available. Any suggestions? I sold my "03 Mustang, (blown), and I'am mising my HP. Thanks Everyone. Looking forward to your respones!!!
