    3rd gear is the one for harrasing those pesky Cooper's's when they get in the way

    Trust me, you'll notice you don't have to change down too often with the upgrade, even in 5th you'll overtake nicely :)

    A-ha, but Alan, now you'll have the joy of a super responsive 6th gear!
    I would have to say that this week I have been mostly using 4th!!

    Best to drive on the rev counter - lowest gear possible till it hits the red bit .
    That's why the put in front of you in the mini instead of the speedo
    Second and third are best for the roads I drive to work - plenty of tight corners and 90 degree bends

    (but 2nd is pretty damn good just over that 4000rev kick till you get to 3rd!!)
