Shift from Neutral

Hi,

I've had my 2006 CR MCS for about a month and I've already hit a cat doing 65 and destroyed my aero kit front! Yeah!

Welcome to NAM! Sorry to hear about that cat commiting suicide with your MINI. I have a friend that had Porsche 944 that hit a HUGE racoon one night going about 65. It really messed up the front spoiler. Hope your MINI is back to normal soon.

Thanks folks. I was pretty mad about it. I'm driving 3000 miles to northern Manitoba and back next month so I'll replace the front apron after that trip.

Nope. A big orange and white striped farm cat. He didn't even look my way.
