I learned in a manual car but I drove a friends automatic and immediately decided to go for auto😂idk why the uk has us all learning manual as the “norm” when automatic is so much better

Congratulations! I hope you will loooove it. 

Don’t forget to: 1) share in r/Mini 2) follow Mini rules (because: fun!)

Practice makes perfect. Please drive defensively. It’s all the knuckle-draggers behind the wheel you have to watch out for.

Flame away, but I highly recommend you save as much as possible for repairs. BMW labor rates are monstrously high nowadays.

u/Quiet-Efficiency1782 15h ago

Yes definitely doing this, as an anxious person I’d do this with any car but especially doing it for this one😂

Congratulations on passing your test. Welcome to the Mini club. My first car was a red Mini R56.

That car is super adorable! The cream mini was at the top of my list but I ended up with a mint green fiat, love a cute tiny car!
