Hi everyone! On Memorial Day May 25, 2015 I purchased my first MINI. I could not be happier and more impressed! My new toy is a 2009 MCS (R56) in DS with the Premium, Sport, and Cold Weather Packages... AND... JCW Stage 1 & Stage 2 kit already installed. She has only had one other owner and a very impressive CARFAX report. I purchased it on Monday and went to sea on a U.S. Navy Submarine on Tuesday... longest underway of my life waiting to drive that little devil a little more. But six days later I was back in the driver's seat. It has 62,811 miles (129 are mine). I'm Mark btw. I am a U.S Navy Submariner stationed in Groton, CT so far the MINI is loving the curvy roads around our neck of the woods. I am loving learning about my MINI. I am very sure I will be around with plenty of questions.

P.S. - I tried my hand at using MINI forum slang in the description of my new scoot...

 

She looks great! Welcome aboard.

 

Welcome to NAM, Mark! Thank you for your service and congratulations on your purchase. If you ever need any parts for your Mini please check out our catalog here. Otherwise, if you ever need any help with repairs or maintenance please do not hesitate to ask! We do have DIY tech articles here, but will be adding much more to them soon as we too just got in an R56. Hope you enjoy the new ride. Cheers!

So you're telling me that Groton, CT is the submarine capitol of the world?

 

Welcome and Enjoy. Thank you for your Service!

 

Sure is.

 

CZ/ODT - gotcha.
Welcome to MINI land.
7 years surface ST, a school boy's dream. That was back in the 60's including membership in the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club. Bet things have changed a lot.

 

Welcome!!
Rotten Goten!!
Guess calling the "submarine capital of the world" is the PC title...lol!
Enjoy the MINI!!

 

Welcome. I'm Navy guy myself. East Coast.

 

Post a pic of the big sub sign on 95N (just after coming off the Gold Star bridge) if you can...I don't get over that way too much anymore, but next time I go I will snap a pic.
