Well, I am going for my first official stick shift lesson next Friday June 24th, 2005. I found a place called Shifters (shifters.ca) that teaches nothing but manual! How great is that?

My 6-speed MINI Cooper S will arrive during the third week of July, so I have to prepare. No burning up my new clutch! I’ve driven manual before, but not in the last 10 years. Wish me luck!
