Didn't want to give you guys bad news, but there is a little bitter to this sweet story. 4 hours after taking delivery the MINI took a little damage.

Driving on a busy street a woman going the other way tried to turn without paying attention to the traffic going the other way. I braked hard but couldn't stop in time.



Feel free to click that picture to blow it up to a huge size, you can see the damage better...

Can't really see much from this far back, most of the damage is on the grill, bumper, and bonnet. The front bumper now has a crack/tear in it. The bonnet has a crease right under the scoop. And my headlight cleaner "thingee" popped out of place...



The woman didn't have insurance, and right now "people" are trying to figure out who is at fault.

4 hours, that's got to be a record or something.

There were no witness(es)? Sucks to hear that, especially when you only own this car for 4 hours!!!
