AhhhhhOUCH!!!


Can i have the kit? :smile: Good think the guy walked away...

 

yup read it on mini2 already

this guy ordered antoehr one already

 

Well it's sad to see pics like these. I'm glad the driver is OK, but what a waste.

High speed and no brains is a bad mix. IMHO.

 

yup he should have known a C32 is a altogether diffferent kinda beast

 

i have input my opinions on how the guy might drove it wrong. it is nothing wrong with the car. it is all about the driver. the roads in Taiwan is better than most US roads(at least better than Atlanta).

But i was impressed about how that guy love the MINI. I might not order another MINI if I crashed it. I might have bad reaction and memory everytime i sit in there!!

I might get the C32, since it won the MINI!

 

Looks like chasing things that say AMG can lead to problems...

Pretty impressed he walked away though.

 

Drive Fast But Smart!
Rule number one: be smart enough not to chase anything start with
AMG
M
F
Z

taht should be common knowledge, to stay away from M and AMG if ur in ur mini

 

If you look at the pictures you will see how strong the MINI is built to take all that rollover damage and protect the driver. Most people would be pretty injured from a crash like that at high speed. If he hit anything out of control like a pole he would have done very poorly.

If you have a highly modded car you have to be concerned about your safety and the well being of your passengers. Please be careful and know your limits.

From the text on MINI2.com it seems that in Taiwan the cost of a MINI is extremely high. The dealer picks all the options and you wait. The JCW kit was not complete apparently. They don't get in the full kit there.

Glad to be in the USA.

 

 

349 HP, around 52K

Ryan(or anyone else) - any idea how much it weighs?

 

Curb Weight 3605 lbs

Power-to-Weight Ratio 10.3 lbs per bhp


btw i sat in an E55 the other day, and its awesome!

though the new M5 will be king of the road soon

 

can't think how much the new M5 will cost over there.
My friends has told me that the MINI not the MCS, is about 28K in China.
MCS is about 27K start in HK.
I might bring my MINI back there and make small fortune!

 

the guy walk away from the accident.

I think we should called him "John Cooper Blessed Guy".

i can't believe how completely wrecked that car is and the guy walked away.. amazing...

 

wow that guy was lucky! maybe he'll learn not to street race! or at least not to crash when he's street racing

 

actualy it was not street racing, it was a "highway Racing"!!!

I just can't believe how that guy can crash on the highway around 125m/h.

Taiwan has better highway, and it should not be road hazard.
It is a mistery,!! haha

 

And people question the safety of our MINIs?! HA! That car has fatality written all over it. Makes me feel even better about choosing a MINI Cooper.

Give it to Bubba. A six-pack and a couple of cans of Bondo, and he ought to be able to fix that furrin' car right nice.

 

unfortunately it's because of idiots like that, that our insurance premiums are so high. BTW, IMHO there's nothing blessed about being an idiot. It's only because of the safety design of the MINI that this fella didn't qualify for a Darwin Award.
To bad he ordered another MINI, that will not promote the reputation of the car, with that kids driving skills and style.

 

That is not cool at all! highway racing is stupid!

 

STUPPPPIIIIIIIDDDDDDDD IDIOT

Why do idiots have all the money?????/

Didn't even have the respect to break it in first
Please forgive my anger but it just fumes me to see such waste of beautiful work.
