If you love MINI, I'd suggest you not to watch it. Very disturbing.

I felt a little sorry about the red one, but watching that blue one soar for 1/4 mile was pretty freakin cool! I have seen MINIs destroyed for far less worthy purposes.

Notice how intact the red one's passenger area was after the flight? Amazing, yeah the blue one didn't do so well but it's nice to know I might survive a flat spin at 70mph off a 50 foot ledge even if I wouldn't survive a 1/4mile flight in one. So, what happened to all the parts? I'm sure there's a good set of wheels and probably some other features people on here would like.

I wish I would've checked on here before I watched. Just awful!

While I generally don't mind seeing things detroyed for no good reason. NOT A MINI!

There is a massive list of cars nobody cares about.

Toyota Yaris IMHO.

Well at least one mini fought back from being destroyed. Did any of you see the part where there was an exlpsion in one and it sent one of the rockets guys to the hospital. I thought the second mini was awesome.
