Got sideswiped yesterday!!

Well after 12 years of driving, and two and a half of Mini ownership, I got hit by a fricking gmc jimmy. As a side bar, it seems that the body parts are relatively inexpensive. About $250 for the whole door panel, about $60 for the little quarter panel. Here are some pics for your enjoyment!

cheers, jason

Sorry to hear it modman! Just don't look at it... don't think about it... and get it fixed as soon as you can. Life is too short to dwell... Better days!:smile:

Godspeed.

The car is supposed to go in on wednesday next week for repairs. Body shop said about two to three days for the repairs. I keep thinking that it could have been much worse, so that is my feel good thought for the whole situation.


cheers, jason
