Soon to be an auto Mini driver. Left knee surgeries have made a clutch no longer an option. Awaiting delivery of a '12 Clubby S. Have to let the '06 S convert go.

 

I'll get some up as soon as I get a camera!

 

Nice

 

I join in! I have a 07 MCa, at first I hated it, but as a poster above stated, you can focus more on the wheel and do better driving. Just as good as a manual!

Can we get a new roster list?

 

Bought my Hot Chocolate 2011 Cooper S Clubman in June. One of the better AT cars I've driven in awhile.

 

I posted this in the accessport thread but wanted too see if anyone here could help me because i have an automatic.
received my accessport 3 weeks ago and when i installed it all the stage 1 tunes cause the same problem. Everytime the car changes gear i lose all power and then i get a surge of power. It feels as if someone is repeadetly jamming on the throttle. Im not being picky the car is actually undriveable with the Accessport installed, and on top of that my Rpms are very unstable when the car is idleing. The car even does this when im using the tiptronic. I was wondering if anyone had this problem I have a 2009 clubman A/T with an alta CAI and Turbo Inlet. When I uninstall the AP my car runs beautifully. And ive had the car looked at by a MINI mechanic who also said everything is fine Mechanically. I Talked to Jeff at Alta but hes never heard of it before. So please any advice would be really appreciated.-Thanks

 

Alright I have a pic up of my mini on my signature just have not figured out how to post them on here. I got a new phone and just havnt figured everything out yet .

 

my 06 checkmate is auto, but I think it still looks cool
(especially at night w/ the HID's and foglights)

 

Very nice!

 

I wish more people were aware of the issue of aftermarket HID kits

Can i join??....I have an 06 s love using the the paddle shifters when traffic is not heavy.
i'll try and get a picture up.

 

Does pressing the sport button do anything when in manual mode using the paddles?

 

All the same things besides longer gears

 

Hey, sign me up! 08 MC R56 auto!

 

I get caught in SoCal traffic way too much to make a manual enjoyable. I gave up manuals back in '01 with my Lexus and haven't looked back. The paddles in the MINI are better than the buttons that the IS300 had.

 

Just bought a '12 Lightning Blue Cooper Automatic yesterday... picking it up tomorrow

 

Sign me up!

Selling my MCC manual and just ordered a 2012 MCSa! I love shifting, I learned how to drive on a manual, everyone in my family had one at the time! Have owned 3 manuals and 2 automatics. Guess I'm evening up the score, and I am quite sure driving with the paddles will be way more enjoyable than driving my automatic '95 Honda Odyssey and '04 Element! Looking forward to it, esp on those days when stuck in stop and go traffic!

 

I am in. Comet is an auto. See proof (Or just an excuse to post a picture on the interior)





Anyone got updated stats for the club?

 

Still no interior pics or any pics for me yet :( Maybe this week.

 

How much snow did you get?

 

Not much at all. Approx 2-3" Just don't want to drive the new car in the slush so the 330i is on duty. Forecast is calling for a high of 53º and rain on Monday so hopefully it will all melt and be washed away by then.

 

I didn't know there was an automatic transmission club, but I hereby declare myself a member. Here is my 2008 Cooper with its wonderful 6 spd auto and paddle shifters.

 

I don't blame you for protecting Desmond. New Jersy uses salt for the roads, right?

Denver area doesn't, but I don't have a back up car anyway.

 

There is so much salt on our roads here in NJ right now its crazy.
