New Guy

Post by malteseracer »

Hey guys, I'm Bryan. Got my first car in my name about a week and a half ago. It is a 6 speed MINI Cooper S. Been driving a manual for all of 12 days now and would have been very mad to have gotten an auto. I love the direct connection with the car and the fun factor of it. I also love that you can always improve your craft as you get better. I am planning on spending a bit in a big parking lot later trying to double clutch downshift. Happy posting

Hi, I'm the resident, actually, no one really knows me here. I don't even live in the US so I guess not even resident.

I drive a Volvo. Welcome to the forums? :)

just because you don't live in the US doesn't mean your views and responses on the forum aren't appreciated and valued. we have plenty of finns here and we always tolerate them! (lol) honestly im just glad we have intelligent people here who know how to speak english and have a good sense of humor. you can be resident whateverthehellifeellike!

I don't like the tiny cars, but the interiors of the Minis are sooo sexy. The gauges are stylish :D
