Saw a Mini yesterday in Winchester, it had the new DTOM plate and S&W .......
Suprised the heck out of me, I thought only the Hippy lefties drove a Mini. |

Quoted:
I was in a manual transmission Mini Cooper a little while back and noticed that reverse is next to first. I'm so used to driving 5 speeds, I would be afraid of mixing the two gears up.  Often times in cars with that shift pattern, you have to push the shifter down towards the floor to get it to clear a safety stop before it'll go into reverse. |

If it's like my buddy's Jetta you have to have the car under 5 mph to even be able to push it towards the floor. |
