Found this in Roadfly but thought you guys might get a kick out of seeing how durable our MINIs are. This guy evidently hit a moose (don't worry no dead moose shots) and he posts pictures of his car.

That's gross :roll: :roll: :roll: poor driver/poor MINI/poor moose :sad: :sad: :sad:

Ouch!!! Bummer for all :razz: :cool:

Here's one from Autoweek magazine about one of their writers avoiding a deer and going head-on with a tree!

This one really shows how well the MINIs are built - thank God for BMW engineering!

How about the quote from the MINI Engineer : “The Mini gives its life to protect the life of the occupants.”

minihune,

Did you see my other link? That was a head-on with a tree while avoiding a deer! Airbag deployed for sure then!

Stupid darn moose. Hate when that happens. And those darn flying squirrels leave a mess also. Watch me pull a squirrel out of my MINI. :lol:

Oh yes and trees too.

Yet another pleasure related to northern driving. Moose are a major road hazzard in VT (where this guy was), NH, and ME. As dumb as possoms, and about 200 times bigger. Actually it's not all that funny...about 2 people die each year in ME alone from moose collisions. :eek:

In fact, Saab (from Sweden, where there are more moose than people in many locations), tests its cars specifically for moose crashes.
