Was bound to happen sooner or later. Guess someone is back on the wait list. Either that or waiting for their MINI to get fixed.

Dang! I've seen several of these....same place, same (or similar) degree of damage!!! This includes, unfortunately, my own MINI. Mine was 6 weeks in the shop and (according to the invoice anyway) over $7K to repair. Looks great now, though.
Watch out for that front passenger side folks!!!

Looks like a European and not a North American car. The Euro-plates on the transport vehicle and MINI's front bumper's plate frame, the size and location of the airbags deployed, and the stickers on the windshield all point to a UK, RHD version of the Cabrio. Any thoughts?

Gotta make you feel good about driving the car! Look at the right door and all the glass, completely intact. Looks like a big hit too!

After seeing several crashed MINI pictures, I am still amazed at how little damage there is to the passenger compartment. It's bad to see crashed MINIs, but good to see the results of their construction.
