[MiniRHK]

Not exactly the best news but she was written off last month. Have been meaning to tell you guys but havn't really wanted to sit down and do this
Basically back road from my gf's house commin home slippy roads, front started sliding then got grip and back end kicked out. slid into the ditch and rolled it. Fuel tank burst but luckily didn't ignite.
As you can prob tell from the pics below we were pretty damn lucky. The roof line ended up below the height of the head rests and im not exactly small..( 6 ft 2") both walked away with no injuries.
Majorly gutted so's the gf ( and she didn't even originally like mini's! )

gutted but glad that no-one was hurt...

how bad is the underneath - could always chop the roof off and make a coupe!

[miniT]

Christ! Your mini looked after you both very well, glad you're both ok, looks like it could have been so much worse.

Glad you've got yourself a new mini, better add bubble wrap to list as well as cotton wool!!

[starrider]

ah, you might be able to buff that out......... but seriously may the old girl rest in peace. just goes to prove your mini will take care of you in a crash.
