Leave my car parked out the front of my house on the road for less than a couple of hours and the lady from across the road reverses right into it with her 4wd.

if that is all the damage she sustained I would have made it worthwile with a 12 pound hammer and chain saw, then it would have been worth it.

at lease I could have accepted it after that. :oops: :oops: :oops:

Only joking, what a bummer............... :wink: :wink:

that car looks like it would have a In cabin reverse camera Shheeeesh id be So freakin angry. Now think of it like this if this lady didnt see a mini how would she have seen her child or children walking behind the car I say BAN all SUV's and 4x4 cars in inner city and start rebuilding classic minis with a 6 point reverse camera screen Cause most people expect nothing to be behind them and just reverse out. these sorts of accidents happen all the time like in the news just this week that poor child has passed away cause her mother didnt Look Properly while reversing.

aw man sorry to see whats happened to your mini!

same happened to me a year ago with a 16 year old in a massive 4wd, smashed my car up and all he had to say was "your car was just too little to see" what if it was a kid he had hit!?! wouldnt have been such a smartie then

but all the best hope you get it fixed up without too many problems :D

I was looking at the Lobethal lights and some bozo bakced their 4x4 into the front of my mini :evil: Stupid thing is it was a line of traffic so what did he think would happen, the car behind would jump out of the way.

Toddler killed in driveway accident


A 23-month-old baby girl has died following after being hit by a car at Alfredton, west of Melbourne.

Police say the child was struck by a woman reversing a four-wheel-drive in her driveway around 6:45pm on Tuesday night.

Paramedics were called to the scene and the girl was taken to Ballarat Hospital, where she later died.
