Hey guys and Gals. I finally made a huge change. I traded in my 2004 Ford F-150 4wd 5.4l auto on 35" tires, in for a 2009 DS/B MCS with the Cold Weather Package. I cannot believe I made the swap after having driven trucks all of my life. This car is incredible. It is peppy, zippy, and fun to drive. After driving a large truck that was what I thought was quick enough, this car is a true driver's car. I feel in tune with the car and can really know what it feels right through my steering wheel and seat.

I saw it had the MFSW and assumed that meant it had the bluetooth, so that will be a future upgrade/retrofit. Other than than that it has everything I could ask for and more.

I look forward to learning and reading more here on NAM and getting to know a few folks, hopefully somewhat locally. If this forum is like any of the other ones I have belonged to I will get pictures up shortly. I promise

 

Welcome to the CLub Talk about major change You are really going to love the gas savings of this car and taking it around turns. Best of luck with your new ride

 

You've made an excellent choice.

Would love to see pics of your DS/B if you get a chance!

I would personally invest in a good Bluetooth headset instead of doing the retrofit for the MINI. I have both, and the headset is SO much better. Just my $.02.

 

welcome... congrats tooo
