Oh, wouldn't I like to know.

You see, this is the thing. I am sure one of you guys could tell me if you drove it in person. When just driving normal it shifts like normal revs drop down when changing gear like any other car but when giving it the beans it is almost like something is telling the engine to keep the revs up when engaging gear...like I am on a hill climbing and it keeps the revs up (max torque is at 3k rpm btw) its just odd. :confused:

But like I said before when I posted it whines really loud when accelerating especially from outside (so I've been told) and its quite hard to get into gear when quickly shifting. I've been told all sorts, some people have said that on a Mini like mine 1st/2nd gear are straight cut and so is reverse.

If anyone is going to the ocuk donnington meet at the weekend, I'll show you there, if I can make it.

What's this like to live with? Always wanted a Cerbera but have been put off by the horror stories.
Do you drive it in the winter/wet?

The diesel suits the auto 'box more than the manual imo.
Not sure on those models, but on the new ones the autos are faster.
