    My uncle is a retired locomotive engineer (CSX, Nashville). He also picked up an 09 MCS. Went from driving something HUGE to something MINI.

    Welcome, thanks for joining M/A!

    We have a few people that work for the railroads. Used to work for CSX myself, only saw the hardware when they would take us techies on a rail yard tour.

    well, it's good to hear that you haven't taken the advise of Mac Davis when he sang "hapiness is Lubbock Texas in my rear view mirror". Seriously though...welcome to the addiction :biggrin5:

    Welcome. From one former Mustang owner to the other: Ignore the Mustang guys that make fun. They won't understand until they drive one.

    Thanks for the welcome everyone! Yeah I left Lubbock once, for seven years only to return, there are worse places to live. I'm loving my MINI, I just love the handling! My Mustang was faster, way faster but this just seems to put a bigger smile on my face! Ya'll take care.
