Found this picture tonight:

Poor Crushed MINI

Talk about bad luck, those look like temporary tags. Anybody we know?

Alternate caption:

"After successfully strapping his Christmas tree to the roof of his Mini this past winter, Dan wanted to see if the same method would work on transporting a larger Oak tree to his back yard..."


All kidding aside, glad nobody was hurt and hope they get their Cooper fixed/replaced soon.

That must be the MINI that was crushed in Glenview. Apparently a parent was waiting to pick-up their child from school when the tree fell.

that's gonna leave a mark...
