Good to hear from you Dave, hope to see you at the gathering! :burnout:

Speaking of color (or colour if you are Canadian like me...lol)..... For those who are not familiar with Blue Steel: I know computer monitors are not true to reality. On my computer monitor the color of the photos does not truly reflect the actual color look 'to the eye'. To me it is has a...

I was not even familiar with this color when I was shopping for mine. I saw it for the first time at one of our XLT-net gatherings. I tend to go for 'strong colors' like our 'fast red ones' but really like this color as well: very different from all the 'same-same' colors (like our reds....lol)...

Out for an Easter Sunday drive and we spotted this Blue Steel 05 'California car' for sale in a car lot of a smaller dealer that deals in lots of Vettes, sports & performance cars in Englewood, Florida. If any forum member is interested I would be more than happy to check out the car further...

Welcome: and may I repeat what CNC said you must have a battery tender and plug it in regularly. Your XLR is new to you - I am sure it wont sit for very long but with 'iffy' spring weather - often intentions get rained out. Basically if you wont be driving it for 'close to a week' then plug...

Hi Gizmo, where are you wintering? We are in FL.

Florida has lots of XLR's This is funny that you say that. I was thinking the other day that this area is an XLR hot spot. We winter in Port Charlotte FL (just moved from North Port - 9 miles away) and I see them often: unfortunately yet to see them parked etc to meet the owners. There is...

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your purchase and ensuing project! We will all certainly help where we can: there are many knowledgeable people here as well as enthusiasts that may not be able to help but 'can feel your pain' when you are stumped. Good luck with your rebuild! My...

Hi Kat. I have been on this forum for quite a while. bought my 09 in May 2011. Have not been as 'regular' of a visitor in the last year or so... had not seen your posts. Was intrigued about you recount of talking to an older lady about your pink car. Have not heard the story about it being...

Sounds interesting to me! Just need to cross check any other family commitments first.

nope

Absolutely! Corvettes are the faster cheaper cousins to XLR's.... :lol: Without the Corvette, the XLR's would not exist. They just keep building the Vettes better and better: I sure wish they would build a newer version of the XLR too. We have welcomed the Corvettes that want to join us in...

#24 spelled Graytoad wrong: prefer Sandy (Graytoad) Gray and Steve Gray

Sounds like we have similar tastes! You don't happen to be into Harley's too?! Steve & I recently sold our 67 Corvette convertible that we had owned for around 25 years. He is wanting to by a current model Corvette convertible to have in Florida, wants white with a red interior. I have never...

Reading your posting: it sounds like your battery was disconnected but not on a Battery Tender? XLR's are very particular: they need a well charged battery. If the battery was 'just sitting there' then that could well be that issue. A battery tender is not a battery charger as such. It adds a...

You need to now change your "About Me" profile that you do NOW own an XLR!

So glad you got your XLR! Sounds like a very nice car :cool: I use a synthetic oil, any quality brand will do. The car calls for 5W-30 'Mobile 1' synthetic but you can use a good quality brand available in Belgium. I am just wondering if you got an Owners Manual with your car? If you did...

Welcome to the forum. Congratulations on the XLR and marriage. I have been off the forum a fair bit lately as we seem to have so much going on. I know of the dealership you speak of: we have a winter home in Port Charlotte. I had my XLR down there last winter but this year it will be our 61...

Hey Dave, tried sending you a PM but you are over quota. You mentioned your health: hope you are doing OK. We are thinking of you and wishing you the best. S&S

I agree Bruce, hard to put a finger on what date has been decided but it turns out to be the last week of September has been decided on. Tuesday September the 25th is the first Tuesday mentioned if they do a NCM driving thing at the track (I have an important charity fundraiser I run that day)...
