There Was A Brilliant Looking Car Next To Me

[Tilly2]

In a line of traffic. It looked to me like sort of biggish MG. When it pulled away, ahead of me, I saw it said ' Crossfire' on the back. I didn't recognise the badge. Does anyone know what make it was? It was a lovely car, oldish style looking, I thought.

That'll be a Chrysler Crossfire.

American, not as expensive as it looks.

[Tilly2]

That's the one. I really liked the look of it. I won't ever buy one. I tend to pootle. That doesn't look like a car you pootle in.

On the same floor pan as one of these, Yilly. Chrysler own Mercedes.

Not with a barge-pole is my immediate reaction!

What Baldric said x2!

[tonyav]

Chrysler's euro boxes are mainly junk.

[Tilly2]

I am not going to buy one. I liked the look of it. At least no one has said, 'It's nothing like an MG!'

[tonyav]

Thats c'us there junk as well, Yilly ! lol.

[tonyav]

By the way was it a convertible or a coupe ?.

[Tilly2]

It was a coupe, Yont. A red one. It looked lovely. All sparkly and clean.

[tonyav]

Good colour on a sports car, Yilly.

[Tilly2]

It looked exactly like the one in hc's link.

[tonyav]

Yes, I've seen one before, Yilly, don't see many about really.

[Tilly2]

Were / are MG's no good then, Yont? I knew someone once, who had an MG BGT. I was impressed by it.

[tonyav]

They were ok in there day, Yilly. They just made them for to long so they got left behind by better cars, also like most cars of that period they were rust buckets.

[Tilly2]

I see. Thanks, Yont.

Isn't Chrysler a good brand/manufacturer of cars then - I mean if there the same as Mercedes ?
