Minimad...I'm so sorry to hear about your MINI. I always have thought you had one of the classiest PW/B ones that I've seen. I'm sure you'll be motoring again soon...

Thanks. It sucks that I'll be MINI-less for the 4/5 event @ Ferman's! They gave me (gulp) a new Chevy Malibu to drive (blech).

 

Waaaa!

From one Pepper White to another -- i hope your baby is returned in better than new condition.

 

Duuuuuuude. So sorry to hear about that. I often read about people having thier MINIs crunched up and I get this icky feeling in my gut. I am a very rational man, but God be with me if this ever happens to me, because I'm sure I'll have to do everything in my will to restrain myself from attacking that person. Poor MINI. God speed your recovery.

 

On closer inspection, I must be totally wrong about this Malibu! Why, it has a tachometer, a temperature guage, and (hold on) psuedo carbon fiber dash accents. This must be a very special vehicle! I'm such an ungrateful b@sta@rd!

[When we were younger & less affluent, we had a Citation. I must say GM has managed to keep absolutely true to that splendid tradition of performance, handling, creature comfort and style. Over 20+ years and it feels like old home week]

Oh BTW, did I mention what a POS this rental is? I MISS MY MINI! I WANT MY MINI BACK!I WANT MY MINI BACK!I WANT MY MINI BACK!I WANT MY MINI BACK!I WANT MY MINI BACK!I WANT MY MINI BACK!I WANT MY MINI BACK!!I WANT MY MINI BACK!I WANT MY MINI BACK! (picture 3 YO temper tantrum on floor kicking & flailing about)

(can you tell I'm not taking this well?)

 

You poor dear! I know you miss your MINI!!

 

We feel your pain...now get up off the floor and compose yourself...could be worse...right?

 

Cooperation - I love those headlights!!!!!!!

my sympathy

 

Sorry to hear

 

how long before you get it back?

 

>>I was rear ended in my Bimmer two weeks ago at about the same speed 40MPH or so. Not good. I'm amazed at how well the MINI stood up to that kind of impact - 40MPH and only the bumper and shocks look compressed. I'm really surprised that the hatch and rear glass didn't get really whacked. You should see my 5er! and it only got hit by a big lexus sedan. I almost wish I was in the MINI given the lack of substantial rear damage.

The MINI really is a tank. You see the crash report vs the F150? http://www.bridger.us/2002/12/16/Cra...operVsFordF150

Sums it up!
