Ok , the mini acrobatic award this week goes to Ben , for his esteemed effort today of rolling his mini 360 degrees and landing on his wheels again without touching the road . It was all caused by a commodore running him off the road and Ben's mini smashed it's left hand rear wheel into the curb . Damage was more than it looked with ripples and buckles on most panels , bent subframe , broken diff housing , torn engine mounts and a left hand rear wheel with about 30 degree's positive camber . Ben's ok , pissed off though and still trying to figure out what happened when it rolled but he did insist he didn't need a change of underwear afterwards . Come on Ben , where are the pictures of the damage mate ....

Thankfully it'll be back on the road soon , needs a few new bits and some of the old ones straightened out , could have been a lot worse , for Ben and the car . Still must have hit the ground bloody hard though .

Holy crap!!!

good to hear you are ok ben.

I thought i recognised that hairy bugger (IAN)
The top bar on the rods for the shifter is a wee bit bent.
Shame about the rim. maybe sell the three and get som 12" or maybe even 13"
at least yours is salvageable where a few here recently havent been as lucky.

where did it happen? in Coffs i presume?

I'll come down and we can destroy every commodore in coffs the same model and colour as the one that ran u off
