On Monday I had a my first car accident and it was with a truck (T-bone). :( But I was very lucky and just damaged my legs when they got crushed by the dash which will heal in a few weeks.
Shannons was super fast, they're great, my mini is written off now & is looking very sad in the garage now being stripped for some parts I'll be selling. My parents absolutely wont let me buy another classic mini & insist I buy a newer safer car, the only other car I kinda like is the New Mini. I miss my mini :(

I'm sorry to hear that. :cry:
I guess we won't be seeing that in the officeworks car park anymore.
Get yourself back into shape before worrying about the car situation once more.
It's good to know you'll survive another day though!

A least your alive although the mini isn't. Like was said above you have one body and you can always get another mini. I'm just glad to hear your ok despite the damaged legs. Hope you recover ultra fast, and you are able to salvage plenty from the wreck good luck with everything.

Try to convince your parents to let you buy another. Last thing you want is to sell off some good bits and then realise a few years time you need to buy them again when you start mini'ing.
