Hello I'm Ernie from NJ. I just picked up my mini Saturday afternoon from Priceton Mini. I ended up getting the Millenium tire protection package after all. It's name is Little Spark. I have a few pictures up at http://www.shokk.com/blog/articles/category/mini/. I'm actually still learning to handle the stick, but I think I picked an awesome vehicle to do it in and I'm getting better every day. We really are in love with this little car. Motor on Minis!

 

Welcome to NAM!!!!

 

Welcome Ernie, nice looking Cooper you got there. If you have any questions about driving stick please feel free to ask.

 

I should be OK with a little more practice. My main problem at the start was how fast I kept trying to let off the clutch - almost as soon as I was pressing down on the gas. That unused left foot is getting some coordination worked into it.

 

Excellent photos Ernie. Plus your highlights and clips from your order... You really show it all and very well done. Thanks for sharing!

 

Welcome to NAM, Enie. Shifting the stick will come in time. Great pictures, nice presentation method. Love the color combo and driving lights. Looks tight and happy in the garage.

 

Welcome to NAM! There is a lot of great information here, and a lot of great people. But just watch what you say, and watch your back...

 

Welcome to NAM Ernie and Little Spark!! Great introduction and photos. I'm sure every one on NAM will be looking for more photos from your coming
adventures with Little Spark.
