2 days into owning my Midnight Black Mini Cooper S. First manual car and loving everything except red lights while going up hill. Can't wait to hit 1200 miles.
Welcome. Those hills will be nothing in no time flat. Getting stuck in some bumper to bumper traffic is the perfect opportunity to get acquainted with your clutch. Have fun!
When you are stopped on an incline, pull emergency brake. When traffic starts to move, gently release the clutch then the parking brake. You'll get the hang of if soon.
