Fresh Mini on the Scene!
Just got my first Mini last week. It's my first stick as well. I love the drive, gas mileage, and the monthly price (got it as part of the August special)! Looking forward to being a part of the MINI enthusiast community

It's week #2 with the MINI and I have to say: I love this car! I've had an '09 C300 and an '09 SLK350 previously (both auto), and I'm having *way* more fun in the MINI on stick!

Funny because my two previous cars were also a C280 (05) and a SLK350 (07). I totallyagree with you - my MINI is so much more fun!!!!
