Was bound to happen sooner or later. Guess someone is back on the wait list. Either that or waiting for their MINI to get fixed.

Dang! I've seen several of these....same place, same (or similar) degree of damage!!! This includes, unfortunately, my own MINI. Mine was 6 weeks in the shop and (according to the invoice anyway) over $7K to repair. Looks great now, though.:cool:

Watch out for that front passenger side folks!!!

All that wait and it only takes a split second to ruin it all. :cry:

HEY, THAT TOP IS UP!!!!!

Perhaps the owner was in breech of their contractual agreement.............if...you...know...what...I.. .mean.:sly: Careful, they're everywhere....and they're watching....:sly:

Could have been covered by clause #5 (hair plugs)

More disturbing was the project car in the back ground. Euro plate with Porsche 914 tail lights.

SUCKS!!!!!!:sad:

Looks more like the backside of the "rollback" trailer to me. But I also hate when they chop good metal up! :mad:

totalled?

Looks like a European and not a North American car. The Euro-plates on the transport vehicle and MINI's front bumper's plate frame, the size and location of the airbags deployed, and the stickers on the windshield all point to a UK, RHD version of the Cabrio. Any thoughts?

Yes you are correct. The car you are looking at is an UK market Cooper cabrio. I believe I seen these pics over at MINI2.com.

Gotta make you feel good about driving the car! Look at the right door and all the glass, completely intact. Looks like a big hit too!

Makes me a little more comfortable in the land of Hummers and Excursions!:lol:

man that sucks, does any1 know what it hit?

Guess that guy can join me on the wait list for a new 05 mini-hes not alone:smile:

After seeing several crashed MINI pictures, I am still amazed at how little damage there is to the passenger compartment. It's bad to see crashed MINIs, but good to see the results of their construction.

I wonder if this is from a Blind lane change...driver couldn't see over his cabrio's butt...got into trouble and ended up rear ending someone?

Someone had to be first.:eek:
