New owner from Horsham, PA
Just got a 2006 cooper s checkmate in space blue. First thing I did was take off the runflats and got some BFG's.

The ride is much smoother! I mean night & day difference. With the runflats I felt like I was driving a jeep. After the change it actually felt more like a 3 series BMW with a stiff suspension. I am loving the change.

Thanks! It was hard with the cold freezing the camera and the snow whipping on the lens. I could hardly see the settings on the camera.

You are more than welcome to take as much of ours as you please.
(Just keep your distance from the yellow snow.)
