This is going to be my first manual car.... my only experience has been a '67 willis army jeep with no power steering and no power brakes, and a '65 corvette that has a clutch problem and doesn't go into first gear very easily........ Everyone says if I could manage those I should have no problem, but I'm worried about stalling too!
Thanks. I can't wait to see yours. Maybe we can do a collective Week 21 gallery with all the pics in one place. Do you think we could do that on NAM or would we have to use Flickr?
I keep bouncing between the 21/22/23 support groups. Wellington is STILL on a ship heading to CA, and my MA finally called to say I should expect delivery "around July 12." We ordered way back on April 18!
Woo hoo! Here's the first picture taken with my phone. It rained big time when I left, so I already have to clean it. Translation, better pictures later
My wife shot video with her Flip, so I'll post a YouTube link later too...
Congrats to everyone else as well! I still have to catch up to all of you reading posts (just got in tonight)....

I'm trying to get good pictures of the ambient lighting but they aren't coming out right. I like that you can choose between 5 colors of ambient light. The ones hidden behind the airbag markers on the a-pillar(?) are really nice.
Last question. When do you get used to the speed? caught myself going 80MPH and didn't realize it! Yow!

here's a tip that not everyone knows.
You actually get more than 5 colors. instead of quickly hitting the button to cycle through the colors, hit the switch and hold it. it will morph between the colors and that lets you get even MORE color options.

UGH, I don't know how you can stand the wait for shipping on the west coast, PLUS be so far inland for transport. Where is your ship now?
