Sorry about the red car too, how long ago was that?
The rolled one was my 1986 Mini Mayfair, which had a very retro looking brown dashboard and 'biscuit' cream coloured seats. The crash was in March last year. I had bought it as a cheap MOT failure (MOT is like a roadworthiness test) and spent what was a signifcant sum for me at the time on getting it sorted mechanically.
Just 2 days after picking it up from the mini mechanic, i was driving from my Mum's house home and a deer jumped out of the side of the road, i tried to avoid it but i was going about 85kph and as i swerved to the right to go round the back of it i smacked it's rear end (the damage to the front was mainly from the deer, not the roll), skidded into the verge and then was travelling sideways for a bit just waiting for the car to dig in and roll, which it did very slowly. Unfortunately it was a write-off. Still I was fine (not even a window cracked or broken) and was able to wind down and crawl out of the window with the only injuries being scratches from the gorse bush that the car rolled into!
As you may have guessed I'm from the UK and have recently moved out here. My newer mini (a 1990 BRG Cooper RSP) is stuck in customs hell at the minute.
The other car in the pics from Monaco and Turin and in some of the mini run ones is my girlfriend's old 1992 Mayfair Automatic which we took on a 9000 km trip round Europe in June 94. The last pile of pics are from this year's Thistle Run which is a mini run in Scotland organised by The Mini Clan (

PS cheers for the Monaco vote, they're probably my favourites too!
