When mine fell off, luckily minidream94 was with me and managed to stop and retrieve the entire centre pipe and back box up off the road :L luckily we were near a pub so pulled into the carpark and used a spiders web of cable ties at the back to hold it all up whilst i crawled home :L

Of course we all have LOL - the most recent was when I caught it on a uneven kerb 70 miles from home, got it back on and it stayed there until 1/2 mile from home when came off completly and the car behind had to swerve to miss it so cable tied it the the roof lifting loops and continued home sounding like a tractor

Was in a friends mini and we took a spin on a round-a-bout went backwards into a central reservation, knocked the exhaust clean off from the manifold back and burst a tyre, car was fine otherwise. With a little bend it went back on no problem.

My exhaust fell off when i'd just got over Snake Pass on my way to Minispares to pick up a NEW EXHAUST.

All mini adverts should have "GSOH required" in the description.

Had to cancel the journey, rig up the exhaust with coat hangers provided generously by a nearby house, but it was too bumpy so had to get towed to flat ground and get the exhaust posted (the new one, not the old one).

Before i had a rc40 my standard exhaust fell off all the time from the rear mounts. I just left it scrapping all the way home :). The new exhaust has not fallen off yet touch wood....

Mine fell off once about 2 miles from my local mini specialist (m@m's Warrington) best thing that could of happened! Half hour later I drove out with a second hand big bore SS exhaust for £50 fitted.... It still looks brand new now!
