Learn how to juggle the throttle, clutch and hand brake when you're 3 cars back with 2 behind you climbing some of those hills around town. I smoked the clutch a couple of times during a recent visit. An automatic gear box is a real plus around that town.

Beyond all that, congrats on your new MINI. Hope you enjoy the heck out of it. Without pictures, it didn't happen so be sure to post some.

Current Minis have hill hold. So there is no need for juggling. When ready to leave from a stop, take your foot off the brakes and the car holds the brakes for 3 seconds. Plenty of time to get moving.

Manual transmission FTW.
