Hello from a new Mini S owner!

Hello peeps! I just wanted to say "hey" and introduce myself. I just purchased an 09 MCS with 20k miles on it. This little car is a blast to drive and I look forward to learning all the ins and outs of tuning it! (With your help of course)

Anyway, I hope you're all enjoying your Saturday!
(I'm sitting on the patio, smoking a Top Sirloin right now!)

Cheers,
Jon

Congrats on your purchase! You will get many smiles out of that car. Pictures??

Also, I'm quite jealous of you out on the patio...it was snowing in northern CT this morning

Thank you!
I'll have some pics up soon. Other than the dealer pics, I only have a couple "messy garage" pics. LOL!

Btw sorry for the patio teaser. :-B

Welcome to NAM!

Out of curiosity, What does a used 09 with 20k go for these days?

20k to 25k, according to the Ford dealership. They had mine marked as 22k on the lot, but due to a typo of 19k on their website... I made out like a bandit. :-D

It's Silver with a black top, level adjusting HIDs, appears to be lowered and wears black Konig 17x7 wheels with 215x45 Falken tires.
I dont know what options it has, if any (Ford didn't even know it was turbocharged), but i'll soon figure it out.

Thank you for the kind welcome!

They didn't know it was turbocharged? I guess they didn't bother to look under the hood when they got it, I'm glad you rescued it!

I tried to smoke a top sirloin once, but, the rolling papers got all soggy and it didn't draw fer crap.

Welcome to NAM.
