You are with Angels now in MINI heaven.

Sincere condolences from SoCal. While the first photo sent a chill up my spine, I think the last photo says the proverbial 1,000 words. Glad to see you standing, but don't forget to check in w/ your doc, just tp make sure there are no hairline fractures or anything.
(Why is it, that when a special email gets sent out to everyone in my company about the passing of a loved one of a fellow employee I hardly know, I really don't care; But every time a MINI dies, I cringe a bit?)

I was thinking the same thing about the photo's.
I too Cring/tear up when I see a MINI die in protection of it's owner.
RIP Sheila

How sad.
I can but hope that Sheila will be reincarnated. The spooky part of this for me the near identical twin appearance between Sheila and Gromit.
Perhaps Sheila can be an organ donor for your next Mini.
What precipitated the cause of death?
