My daughter is driving my last sports car a 2000 Miata. I started with a Triump Spitfire and a Sunbeam Alpine both in Germany 1959-1961, Later a Triump in 64. I just Purchased a 2005 Crossfire Red Roadster LTD. 35,365 miles. Little more muscle.

I am in Houston Area. Had not seen many on the road and driving home today from the dealer I was passed by a copy of the one I just purchased. I am the oldest new owner I would bet. Hope to find some owners for meets in Texas.

What! No MG? Was your Alpine a Series 1 or a Talbot? Gary

The end of this month I will have owned my SRT for 6 years. Everyday of ownership has been wonderful. Well almost every day, less when the dealership was holding her hostage.

My daughter is at 5 1/2 years with hers.

Today while we were driving downtown, I made a comment to her about how much I still enjoyed the car and thought It was the best and most fun car to drive that I have ever owned. Her reponse was, "better than the Corvette"? I said yes.

I am sure I will have the SRT for a lot more years to come.

I do not remember but it looked like the one that Liz Taylor drove over a cliff in the movies. It was white I think a 1960 model. I lent it to a friend while stationed in Germany and before I could use the free shipping back to the US, where I played to drive from Brooklyn Navy Yard to Houston Texas. Guess what he wrapped it around a tree and totaled it.

I did tool around Heilbronn Germany chasing a frend in his MG.

I love driving them seperatly down the road and looking forward to the first rally in the Northwest to meet many other owners. I enjoy this forum for the inforamtion and the enjoyment of the many owners who love a car. I am planning that these cars will be our last and they will continue to drive well and hear all the great comments that come our way. Face it...it's just a fun car and enjoyable to drive. Have to go the Sun is out and the top is down...........whoooooooosh!

Those babies sure look sweet. Makes me want to go out and find a long lost twin for my baby.

The main thing is that you enjoy it !..........me likewise, but I can't drive them both at the same time, which is why one is up for sale ..........
So MAGREDVET, which one of these beauties are you parting with?

I've had Little Red (2008 roadster) for 2 1/2 years now and love it. I purchased it when it had 13,400 miles and it now has about 23K. I was at a stop light the other day when someone pulled up next to me and asked, "Is it as fun to drive as it looks?"... my answer of course was "Yes!".

Two years and a month for me. Still can't wait to get behind the wheel each day when the weather is right. Took it out last evening (picture perfect). Stopped in at the local grocery and sat in it while the wife went inside. A couple pulled up with a new Toyota SUV and stopped. Sat there for a while. At first, I didn't know what they were doing. Slowly, they turned and backed it in on the next aisle. They were sitting there and I was wondering if they were going to get out and go in to the store. Slowly, the lady gets out of the car and stands around, then, the man gets out. After about 20 seconds, she starts walking toward me. I, now, know what's going on. She walks up and says: "That's a beautiful car! What kind is it? At this point, the man, slowly, walks over. She said. "He just bought me that and I told him, now, that's what I want!"

I purchased my 2005 Graphite Metallic Roadster on 6/5/2010 so I'm coming up to my 2nd Year Anniversary. She had 24,155 miles at the time of purchase and I'm currently sitting at 31,200. I have never been so in love with a car as I am with my XFire and look forward to taking her out for a drive with the top down and a "Perma Grin" on my face.... I have to say this was the best purchase I've ever made!

Well, I have owned Crossfires for over four years now. I've had four different ones. I love my current SRT-6 coupe and hope to keep it for a long time. The only thing that might replace it is an SRT-6 roadster.
