Buying a New MINI

Hi, all:

I've owned my classic Mini for about a year now and like it so much I'm seriously considering a new MINI for a daily driver. I have a couple of general questions that I need to post to the group:

Any feedback on Brian Harris MINI? I'm in south Alabama and they are the closest dealer to me. I'd appreciate hearing about your experiences with them.

Runflat tires: good or bad idea?

Thanks!

Not familar w/ the dealer you mentioned but if you're looking for a new MINI the '07 car is setup well for runflats. Ride was a bit harsher in the earlier generation and lots of folks ditched their run-flats. Not a problem w/ the '07.

I have a couple of buddys around here who restore and own classics...both drive MINIs for their daily driver though. Good luck!!
