Finally

So, after a decade of drooling I finally got a MINI!!!! My 2009 Red / White Hatchback fills me with joy. I bought it a couple of months ago and 3 days after I drove it home a tree fell on it. Thankfully she has been all fixed up and is ready to do some motoring in the Saint Louis area!!!

Have driven the car for a bit less than the month since the tree. Wife was taking it into the shop today to get a light replaced and was rear ended. Thankfully wife is ok and it is just a love tap that will be fixed with a new bumper cover but I am starting to wonder if the MINI is cursed......

Some people have all the luck, and some just don't have any luck. Sorry to hear about the Mini Accidents, but glad to hear no one was injured.

Here of the photos of the tree and my MINI

So, after buying the car December 17 this is what I saw early in the morning on December 20. Here are the photos. This weekend we are heading to the beach so I will post some photos of her all fixed up soon.
