I can't believe how nice everyone is.
Thank you for this, i really appreciate the thoughts of everyone especially as we have never even met!
 
Craig, thankyou for taking time on your christmas day to make these arrangements for me.
Words cannot describe how touched i am and i can't begin to think of the words to use to thank everyone involved.
 
I am sitting here blubbing like a baby while typing just thinking of the way people are willing to help a stranger especially at christmas.
 
We are slowly picking up the pieces and the highways agency has just arrived to clear the brook that runs alongside our property and the cause of the devastation.
 
I have to go for now as my laptop is about to die and i didn't manage to save the charger! Only just managed to grab the laptop as the desk capsized!!
 
Thanks to all and Merry Christmas.
 
Ben

You aren't a stranger, you are one of us. Just because you haven't physically met some of the people on here doesn't mean they don't know you at all. If we can't help someone at Christmas the it would be a sad world we live in. Merry Christmas!

Living in Holland I've seen the results of flooding and it's devastating to see what water can do to someone's life and posessions.

 

Did a donation, hope it helps a little bit to get everything sorted, despite this disaster I'd still like to wish you a merry Christmas.

Thankyou so so much bartje. I am so grateful for your donation. I hope that i can get the chance to help others out in the future just hopefully not under these circumstances.

 

Thankyou.

 

Ben

Clive got it spot on. We may never have met but when you love Minis you don't just end up with a car, you end up with friends and family. A lot of bad stuff goes on throughout the year, and whilst it's all published on TMF in doom and gloom, we rarely hear about the good stuff.

 

Let's all put on our festive hats on and show what the Mini community IS made of when it comes to it. There are so many generous, lovely people on here. We're a family and family's help eachother.

I am a silver lining type guy; at least 2014 can only get better and now you know there are nice people in the world that care.

 

Hope the fund helps.
