no more. i sit her with a ripped shoulder unable to move much. last night i was on a dirt road. cruising along comfortably. i hit a ditch in the road. the car swerved. i fishtailed left then right. then the tyre came off the rim. the rim dug into the dirt and the car flipped onto its roof rolling 3 more times to a stop in the bush to the side of the road. the mini is a complete right off. every panel and the roof caved in completely. all in all im severely lucky to walk away. |

Mate, that's really bad luck. A sad ending to the car that has taken you so far, like loosing a good friend. I hope your shoulder is OK and no serious damage there. |

that is really some bad luck mate. I was worried at first it might have been a roo that you hit, before I read on.. Your mini was taking you on adventures that most would love to do. I for one will be doing one day soon  Hopefully you can use the bits for another shell
Hope all goes well with repairs and your injuries mate.

i just want to get to the hospital. im in that much pain. my lift should arrive soon. then its two hours on the road. i just had another look at the car and im amazed i survived. still dont know how i actually got out of the car. at least my book will finish with a big ending. i even let fireworks off after the crash. just so the story can end with a big bang. |

bugger - you've been through so much with that car - lots of great memories to keep though. I don't doubt that the rigid structure of the mini saved you from worse injuries I have a permanently damaged shoulder from when I crashed my blue cooper
