Hello from Connecticut!

Hey peeps!

Just purchased a '13 MCS Bayswater Edition with 16k miles! Got it for $17,800 with the USAA discount. One owner and was a female that clearly baby'd the **** out of it. Bought it from Texas and drove it all the way to South Eastern CT!

Been driving it about a week now, and I am thoroughly enjoying it. MUCH more fun than my '08 VW R32, especially seeing I don't burn through so much fuel

Fun trip/test drive from Texas to Connecticut. Post up some pictures of your car before the snow comes. Should be getting pretty mild again this week, with some rain starting up on Tuesday. Can't really complain too much since our weather has been so nice most of this Fall. We're not even going to notice that Winter starts on Tuesday.

That's a nice edition, remember when they launched that. The Kite blue is nice. Interior is very nice. Post up pics .

Thanks for the pic. Like they still kept the wheels and stripes.

Couldn't believe how pristine everything is. No marks on the wheels or anything. I drove a few MCS's before I flew down and right when I sat down it was an instant buy.

Thanks! From Grand Prairie, TX to New London, CT for me!

The stripe and the roof was what hooked me. I thought the matched roof looked very unique. Every Bayswater I've seen up until then wasn't blue or had a mismatched roof. My cars are an extension of me so being different just feels so cool! (As lame as that sounds)

Found a good one. Those wheels are very rare , not too many people have them outside the Bayswater edition.

welcome.

Check here for all the clubs. Some local clubs are not all on the forums and have FB pages so you can find them by searching.

Seems like CT is a pretty dead state. There's Nutmeg MINIacs but that's about all I've found worthwhile, in-state anyway.

Hell, another reason to add to the list for moving away!
