Welcome, I am new to the board!

Looking to buy my first MINI! Hopefully i'll have one by next week.

(Better get started learning how to drive a stick...)

 

Excellent! Keeps us posted on your purchase. I learned stick on my MINI within an hour or so, it's very easy on our cars!

 

Thanks! Hopefully it comes as naturally to me.

 

Watch some videos on youtube, that helps a lot. It's all about getting the feel of the clutch and gas.

 

Find a large EMPTY parking lot and practice starting/stopping over and over again. I agree, after an hour or so you'll think you've been driving a stick your entire driving life. The sooner you get your mini, the happier you're going to be! Good luck with the search.

 

Welcome, I also seen in your post you were looking at standards....mini's. Well the good news is you steer an auto and drive a standard. HEHE...What kind of Mini, colors, etc....
