Oh well, at least thats another unroadworthy car off the road... Now u can spend all ur spare time fixing it....! Oh.... thats right u dont like to work on it in your spare time...? Ship it off to the nearest Mini Specialist then....

Now i could understand if the inlet manifold snapped off this engine...

As you can see from the picture the curve in the road is very slight. 8)

[turn on southern accent] Are you looking for kin, cush? :D

The postcode is 2209, and the suburb is home to the Premier of NSW.

i know that turn in only a slight one, but u gotta look at it a road level, the road when u turn goes on a downhill slope, there has been tonnes of accidents there in the wet. hanra id take a photo but its hard to take a photo of the manifold while in the car cause u wont see the damage , but i know its broke nthe manifold off cause when i push down on the carby while running it idles run but soon and i take my hand off she idles like crap and dies also i can move the whole unit as well, the gutters in hurstville are 30cm high im lucky that it hasnt caused and body damage

Another pic of that car- the 2 elderly people in it survived when it hit a bus.
Note the Mini collapsible steering column, standard since 1961!

They werent elderly Kev, It was Scott and his gf who were in the car. My guess is they are early to mid 20's.

Am I the only one who can see the common thread. Delve deeper into anything that this person writes and it nearly always changes.
In this case I believe at one stage he said his car entered a spin but still managed to hit front first which means at 45km/h around a slight bend which we all know he has managed a 360 degree spin ???????????
B S !!!
