Notice though that the left tailight lens is intact. I would be willing to bet
this is a case of stoopid fast. Unfortunatly for the occupants.

Good guess Michael and a European plate. Roads are much different over there. I know because I drove them 5 years.

Man there are quite a few in this website.

The thing that I find annoying is that all the minis are in the regular car selection.......not to say that I'm not bothered that some people may well have been injured, or that the world is now an uglier place with the loss of those beautifull Minis.

That site doesn't allow links -- here are some of the others Xanthus mentioned.
The blue one is quite a brain teaser huh?

This is a crude reminder that when you are behind the wheel of a MINI your are not INVENCIBLE or above the Laws of Physics.

Also a reminder that speeding is truly a bad idea!
