Hey guys. New here but not to Mustangs.

[Cobraman1024]

My name is Joe and I've been around quite a few of the Mustang forums for a few years now. Ed with the black '97 Cobra and '94 GT (usually goes by LilBLKSnake on the forums) told me about this site after the New England Blue Oval Club was disbanded and I joined but never really posted anything.
Anyway, I was in Rhode Island for a couple of years before moving out to Florida. I stayed out there for a few years, met up with some of the Mustang magazine guys and then got recalled back to active duty with the Navy. I moved everything back up to Rhode Island in September and now my girlfriend (Nikki) and I have a house in Fall River, MA. Curently I'm stationed in the middle east, in Bahrain off the coast of Saudi Arabia. I'll be here until September of '12.
Between Nikki and I we've got four Mustangs. Starting with my first Mustang, an Opal Frost 1995 v6, this car has 233,000 miles on the odometer and I bought it originally with 79,000 miles.
