You need to turn off the Hwy and hit a curvy road, 3rd gear is FUN.

I've been in 3rd for about 3 weeks now. Once I hit 4th, I'll get back onto a major road.

I'm sure that L.mini and 2minis can give you advice on how to post "fluff" to get your numbers up.

You've got to break 300 posts to get out of 3rd gear.

I'm finally getting close to shifting into 6th!! Woooohooo!!!

Ryephile: It's almost time for you to push in the clutch and shift to 6th. :smile:

I don't post a lot, but I'm on at all kinds of ridiculus hours lurking, and see that he has posts at some of these ludicris times. Maybe once Ryan and I get out MINIs, we'll spend more time driving and less time surfing.....or maybe not.

>>Is there some measure of how fast people shift gears? If so, I'd guess Ryan would be right up there as a top 'Speed Shifter'.

... and don't overlook the #1 Power Shifter: RandyBMC is right up there - lean and mean! tons of posts - no fluff ...

Dave, I tend to power/speed-shift! Ryan's def: pushing clutch in halfway to float the syncro's just a bit, trashing the dog's on the tranny but shifting approximately as fast as the BMW SMGII, only it's me!

Of course, this is only in critical "it's not my car and I'm racing" scenarios!

Cheers,
Ryan

Maybe just a little fluff (all fluff must include the use of emoticons)
