    hey there Chance! welcome to MA. it's a great crowd over here, and i guarantee you'll have fun. and congratulations on the car conversion, i think you'll be very happy with the switch ;)

    Manual MINIs are more fun than Autotragic MINIs, IMHO.
    :D

    Thanks for the warm welcomes. My partner had a manual Justa and I loved driving it, so I can imagine that a manual MCS will be even better. It'll take a little while for me to adjust though - this'll be my first real long-term manual tranny car. I've gotten far more comfortable driving stick and have very few mishaps now, and thankfully the MINI includes a hill assist feature so I won't be sweating bullets on a steep incline like I was in my short time with a stick 2008 350Z.

    As much as I love the smoothness of my GTi DSG, I will not be sad at all to say goodbye to that $8k tranny before the warranty is out! Especially not with all the recall issues VW has been facing.
