Congratulations! You are about to experience a quite unique driving adventure that just gets better and better!!!

Do give us your driving impressions as you turn up the volume!!!

Has anyone changed from runflats yet ..see: Small Report after changing tires on my GP

If so how has this affected your driving impressions?

can now at the dealers i am having a new rear screen fitted (heated screen not working)

also engine is dying out at low revs in traffic. i have to dip the clutch to get the revs up to pull off is like a flat spot any one else had this?

[Goonery]

Nope , mine is flying, the goo is adding drag to the sideskirts , but thats all.

Oh I'm liking these runflats a lot, grip is .............. well HARDLY there at all in the wet , which is making it a lot of fun Its a bit like rallycross out there in the rain today

[LMB]

Mine's fine as well.

My GP is fine but I had similar problems with my 'e' type recently that turned out to be simply dirty fuel?!

I've found with all Cooper S's you have to put a bit of gas in the lower gears.
