While competing on The Birr Stages rally over the Weekend I had an "Off" into a field in my Mini. Lost the two door mirrors and dented the bumper.... Otherwise the Mini was unscathed. :lol:

Delighted to say we finished the next few stages without any issues until the rad leaked :cry: .

Here is the in-car footage from the adventure!!

Great footage! and that moment when you lock up is possibly one of the most panicking things to happen in a mini, even watching that footage made me tense up  >_<

Out of the line of fire as they should be.

Excellent again, really enjoying the vids. And that co-pilots accent is lovely :-)
