Pretty strange when you are driving around all proud in your Mini and then you see another Mini ahead.
Boy, is it riding high!
What the hell, it is on a flat bed tow truck.
The Horror
The Horror.

So if it was your grey and white Mini S being towed this morning on the Baltimore Beltway I hope you and the Mini S are feeling better soon.

Don't think of it as being towed, think of it as executive piggyback chaufferism.

I have seen 2 coopers, and one "S" on the back of a flat bed here in CO. I have also seen one wrecked MINI before the cops and everyone were there. And after seeing a MInI on the streets, a day or two later saw it at the dealer with the front and back end smooshed in, but the cool thing was even the he obviously got hit hard the passenger cabin looked to be in perfect condition. If this person is on this site please post, and tell me if you are ok or not, and if it is not to much, please post what happened. It was a black "GO FAST" MINI "S"

I saw a black Lambo Murcielago on a flatbed on Hwy 101 in LA. At first I thought, no way that moron got towed. Then I realized it was prbly being transported

I personally helped put an Aston Martin DB7 convertible and a BMW Z8 onto a flat bed. A few months ago I saw a Mini on flatbed ago rolling down M Street. It was a sad sight. Hope it was ok and the owner was just being cautious with the tow truck.
