Now what can I say here about my new toy, "Maul"??
« on: 15 April 2010, 21:51:24 »
I have just collected a Black Mini Facelift MV6 Manual from Forum Member "Beef"

He wanted to have a last drive in his Baby fof just over 8 years so took me for a spin. A little spirited driving at a roundabout and I am looking through my passenger door window :o I was not sure what to do first soil myself or scream ;D so I held the thought whilst Beef straighten up with a sigh of relief  ;D ;D

We exchanged Money for Keys & Documents which he was still not sure about doing.

Now most of you know I have owned Vader for over 3 years which was an MV6 Auto.
I have thought that Manuals can not be much quicker than Auto's, never convinced by My Dad or The Master telling me so...... until tonight.

So here I am, holding my hands up and saying that I was wrong. :)

I got home with a Grin from Ear to Ear  :) :) :) :)

Beef you have no worry of your car going anywhere mate, its staying with me, but if and when I do think of selling it, I will give you first refusal like promised.

Thanks Beef for a Lovely car just needing a little TLC :y

Whilst it is possible that your 'new' manual is just one of those freak cars which is just quicker than average, I have always rattled on about how Auto's don't have the same drivable power as a Manual.

On this Forum, people always try to tell me I'm wrong and how it must be my driving at fault.  ;D

To be honest, without driving both, it's impossible to know the truth!  :y
