Yep, sod Clarkson I've gone out on a whim and bought a Crossfire
I can hear you all giggling away but a 3.2 V6 for peanuts, what's not to like....

how much was peanuts? I mean, Nissan 350z's are pretty cheap these days, and they're pretty darn decent!

What was the 'whim' - a couple of bottles of cheap vodka?
Well, enjoy your 200-odd V6 ponies. BTW, didn't Mercedes have to supercharge that engine to give it a bit of usable power?
Must have been less than £1k.

We look after a couple of Crossfires.
They never seem to go wrong,just tyres and brakes.
Sure the looks are divisive,but they are cheap and fun.

£1400, it's like a disposable car
At 225bhp and 0-60 of 6 secs and restricted to 155, it'll do for some fun

I'll admit I always liked the looks of them - but reviews at the time weren't usually favourable!
Still a pre-06 reg model looks like a bargain.
The 2006 tax revision pretty much spelt the death of these, along with RX-8s, S2000s, 350Zs and even Hyundai V6 Coupes!

Coupes because stunning!

The interior? The rear end? the front?
I guess if you squint really hard you can imagine it's a Weissman MF5.
Cheap fun, i guess.
