Well folks another one is joining your ranks. I have found alot of great 411 already and this site is hands down the best on the web dealing with mini's. I do have a quick question i have a 2004 S and i have been having problems with cold starts and the shifter linkage freezing and me having to wait till P.O.T. to actually be able to get the car in gear. I'm sure this has been covered at sometime but i'm having trouble finding the discussions on this site so if someone would lead the way that would be great. I am very into cars in general so if you want to get dirty and tell me how to fix it myself i can do that i really don't want to fight with the dealership about this anymore i just want to fix it and move on. Other then that things are great here in NJ weather hasn't changed yet but soon i think. That is all for now.

Sincerely,
Drew
