At first I thought you had a MC(s) manual and couldn't figure out how to shift from first to second...That was until I opened the forum and actually read your post! LOL I was thinking ok someone take the MINI away right now!

Or you could go to the FAQ, where they tell you exactly how many posts you need to 'graduate' from one gear to the next...

I was neutral last week.

more time wasted online = higher gear status

Time well spent I say.

Had to post incase this becomes a popular thread. Or maybe this is an attempt to over throw the How many posts thread. Do I smell a bloody Coup? Just remember that the thread will not die easy. I shall defend it with my last keystroke. (or till it gets locked)

1st Gear 11
2nd Gear 51
3rd Gear 151
4th Gear301
5th Gear 601
6th Gear 1101
