I don't know if they are all like that. LEPRECN is an early '05 if that makes a difference. |

Glad to hear I'm not the only one confused by the paddles - finally came up with this as a mnemonic: Push on the paddle - car decelerates - nose goes down - - pull on the paddle - car accelerates - nose goes up (push the nose down - pull the nose up) - works for me in WOODSTOCK which I only get to drive to the store or gas station...

Ok ... this sounds WAY more confusing than my plain old 6 speed and clutch. Guess I'll have to try it next time I get a loaner from MINI. |

Hey Pat: As long as you have it hanging around your garage, post some pics of this thing.
(Evil Scoop says: Mod this puppy and tell NW MINI to save it as our exclusive loaner for club members!)

Tell me about it. I went from *calculates km/l to mpg* around 30.1mpg to 26.1mpg over 3 months from using the sport button. I have a late 2007 AT and I don't mind it in late evening Seattle traffic but wanting a JCW kit sometimes makes me wish i went for a manual PS: I always drive it in "paddle-mode" or "fake-stick-mode".

I gotta tell you, Miniphatty - the autoshifter is really good. I am VERY impressed with the waaahhhooooooo!!!!! factor when you put your foot to it. Other than a bit of hesitation from start with the shifter in D, this is really cool. Don't like the hesitation with the stick in D? Go to the M setting and put your foot down - waaaaaahhhhooooooooo!!!!!!
Scooop - don't think there are going to be pictures. I ain't ever gonna get it... There's no bolts to turn with a wrench on this here computer box... Sorry. |

Poor little Onramp. I was down at the dealership today, to put money down and my order in for my new mini. When we drove up, I saw him sitting there all lonely. :(
cheers,
Verax

Hope you told him that I miss him, and will come get him as soon as the "10 days" for the parts comes to an end. I called Friday (day 11) and the parts hadn't come in yet...
