Dude, YIKES, that must have been a really big hunk of ice!

Seriously, what hit you and is everybody ok? Insurance gonna total the car?

 

Yes, they do suck. I stayed home.

 

WOW thats so sad!

 

I've seen worse. Is the bonnet untouched?? It looks that way. A new door (and all those bits) and the little panel in front of that...maybe some trim...and you'll be good to go. You are okay, right???

 

Wow... you win. That totally one ups my ice storm story. So sorry to see another MINI with damage!!! I hope you're okay, man.

 

Ouch!!! Sorry to see this picture....

The side fenders in the R56 are a huge sheetmetal panel that stretches all the way to the front of the car (You have to open the hood to see where it ends). In the R53 it was just a single panel held by 3 screws.

You are looking at quite possibly a $5000 repair bill.

 

What am I missing here. I don't see any picture. No link to a picture and not one in their gallery for this.

 

The whole front A pillar might be compromised. >_<

 

Just you. Showing up fine here are you logged in? (I know, dumb ?)

 

ouch..

my mini in the garage with the miata..

driving the tank !! FJ Cruiser..
she goes great.

sorry for your loss..

 

daaaaamn. sorry to see that :(

dibs on the wheels......

 

Ooooo, that's right!!! Ouch!!!

 

oh no how did it happen..

are u ok?

 

wow...that looks like my coop (minus the wheels + bonnet stripes). I am glad I stayed home today or there could have been 2 of these pix.

i'm glad you're ok.

 

Ouch... Where did that happen?!?!

 

I really had no choice but to get on the road... You would not catch me on the roads if I didn't have to pick my mom up from work...

Arggghhh... So far they're estimating it at around $5800, but that's before even interior repairs... I wish they'd total it out but I doubt that'll happen being that it's a '08...

I was heading north on 360, I had a truck in front of me slowing down as we approached a overpass... I started to brake, then just as soon as I touched the overpass my ABS kicked on... Felt the front two tires sliding then my rear fishtaled to the right... Turned into the slide, straightened up, then it started to fishtale to the left... Turned into that one but then I think my front tires caught traction and then my rear just whipped all the way around... Then came into contact with another car that came out of nowhere... The truck just went on his merry way.... Amazing that a truck with zero rear weight didn't slide.... Just wasn't my night I guess...


Was a sad sight seeing her being pulled onto the flatbed tow truck today..

Will probably get the grand total tomorrow...

 

Ouch, sorry that this happened. Today was a good morning to stay off the roads. It's a shame a lot of employers expect you to come in when the roads aren't safe.

 

oh no! this is sad =(

 

They probably have to further tear down the car to see if there is transmission and suspension damage.

I knew it was going to be a huge repair bill just by looking at it.

This sucks no matter how you cut it and slice it.

 

Yup, logged in. No problems seeing any other pictures on the forum. Using FireFox 3.0. Oh well.

 

So very sad for you

 

Sorry to see that. Hope it all works out for you!

 

Are you at the office/behind a firewall? The image doesn't load for me at work but loads fine for me at home.
