Hello everyone, just joined up. I have bought an 04 roadster and looking forward to picking it up from the garage next week
after choosing it over the audi tt, porsche and lotus im hoping im not going to be disappointed with my new wheels

 

Welcome and great choice! You're gonna love it!

 

thanks i hope so. i will be sure to post how i get on next week

 

WELCOME! Double check the year, roadsters came out in 2005, only coupes were offered in 2004. What color, MT or AT, etc. Make sure to use the search tools here, very informative. Enjoy!

 

its sept 04, im in the uk, scotland to be exact. its canary yellow, 36000 on the clock and manual gearbox

 

Welcome here and congrats on your purchase.
Just wondering how ya picked that screen name ??

 

Not bad! Good choice choosing the Crossfire! Of course I would not mind having a TT or a Porche... but I think you will find the Crossfire to become quite addicting as the others. Especially since you have the manua... another good choice!

 

Welcome and congrats... you'll love the information highway here!

 

ha ha the screen name has been a running joke with friends, it just came out one night when drunk and its stuck since

 

Welcome aboard! These are great cars, and get TONS of attention. Just have to learn to put up with a few quirks, but it is worth it.

 

Welcome aboard this great forum, and congrats.

 

Welcome, mate. I'm sure it's a right-hand drive, too. That would be amazing fun combined with a manual 6-speed. I had the pleasure of motoring around Ireland with a manual and talk about mental challenges -- sitting on the right, shifting with your left hand, and keeping on the "correct" side of the narrow roads. What a blast! You'll love the roadster.

 

I know that feeling. I work in France and have to use a left hand here and right hand at home. proves a little difficult sometimes remembering which side of the road to be on. Really looking forward to getting the roadster out on some good old windy scottish roads and testing just hope grippy my new machine is.

whats the querks mentioned that you have to get used to???

 

Welcome to the forum, enjoy your car. I faced the decision of which car - looked at what you did(not the Lotus no dealer) and now a year later - everytime I see a boxer - all I can think is I have a Crossfire and he has that!
There aren't many of us out there and it's kinda fun!

 

that was exactly my thoughts. i see boxters all the time but very rarely do i see a crossfire, especially a canary yellow one.

 

Welcome aboard,
The only "quirk" I can think of is with the cup holder, some claim when shifting it pops up as there elbow depresses the release?

 

ah thats nothing, just have to be careful where i put my elbow

 

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the forum!

 

Hi!

I just received my 2005 Limited, black with two-tone leather interior for Christmas. OMG!! 6-speed manual is sweet. I received it yesterday. I am making every excuse to drive it. Weather in NY has been nice the past few days. I hope to have pictures in my gallery soon. Enjoy!
