Thanks DavidB --it's another impressive Cooper S story (i'm quite sure more are to come....)

Glad they agreed with me almost entirely.

Off the mark with their small list of styling differences, but I can forgive them that.

First time I've heard that the 16" wheels are preferred. I always thought the car was engineered for the 16s and that those ugly (JMHO) 17s were an afterthought for those who put 20" wheels and coffee can exhausts on Hondas.

It makes sense the 16's should handle better, the 17's might grip better, but the lighter, standard x-lites should surely offer the best option from a driving point of view.

Thanks for the link David B. Too bad the pics on that site aren't enlargeable.

Thanks for that

I can't wait
