So.. I just picked up my mini two days ago..

[FONT=Tahoma]As i'm driving to work today..some guy passes in a boat..a hundred feet later I see what looked like a 4 gauge line heading towards my car..i'm likke..ok?..so i move over a little...and something hit my car..like a big hook.. twice!.. then i see in the rearview the line getting tighter and tighter...then *snap* ok..i park my car at work, check it out..realize a hook and line is caught on to my antenna (luckily i haven't found any damage/scratches..yet) my antenna on the other hand..well..was pretty much decapitated at the base...[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]the moral of the story..i guess its time for a shorty antenna..so much for modifying the stock one to make it shorter lol[/FONT]

That THAT's a fish story!!

 

Way to go! You got away

 

lol

 

That guy is probably telling a story like Steve Young in the Toyota commercial!

 

WTF?

 

Probably telling his buddies, "Nah, it was just a MINI. I had throw it back."

 

 

Oh my gosh - that's one of the funniest MINI stories I've heard in a long time. I'm glad there was no damage though except for the antenna.

Catch and release? Was probably undersize.....had to throw it back.

 

....those MINI's they maybe small but they sure put up a fight!

This sounds like one of those things thar can only happen in south Florida where canals often are parallel to the roads and getting past by a boat in morning os common. When I lived in Ft Lauderdale I could use "drawbridge" as an excuse for being late (often true) to work as you could not get to my office without crossing one.

 

 

Trolling for MINIs on the way to work no doubt.

 

Your MINI is very young - they probably let you get away, so you'd have a chance to get bigger. Either that, or his bucket was already full of MINIs

 

I would have love to have been watching the guy in the boat. I wonder if his fishing rod got yanked out of his hands!

 

lol..ya it was quite the morning...
