my friend gave me a ring the second he noticed something about the MINI on television
unfourtunately, i answered the phone only to hear that it was over already (i guess his mom was watching tv or something and he heard the term "MINI COOPER"
get that video uploaded!

I'll get it uploaded as soon as I can, probably tonight.
56Kbit, 100Kbit, 250Kbit and 1MBit versions. Windows Media.
Sorry, I can't put it in Mac format as my Mac is occupied as a doorstop at the moment. (Doubles as a boat anchor in the summer)
Gerbs! I'm taking delivery at Patrick Mini this Saturday ~3:00. DS/B! Come on by!

Bad thing about this report is they said that with the front side impact of 5mph it actually twisted the frame. They were stern in saying this was very unacceptable.
The overall rating was not bad, but that one part really set the MINI out from the crowd. The damage was $1,480.
OUCH!

They were probably referring to the bonnet which you can see in this video. I think they mean the bonnet is misaligned, not the frame.
Open Windoze Media Player, and select "Open" or "Open URL"

(Replace the crash256.wmv with crash56.wmv and crash100.wmv depending on your bandwidth)
I'll make it friendly tomorrow so you can simply click the links.
