Such a shame. Was a really nice car too.

You could always reshell into a clubby to reverse the trend.

Ouch! but to a Mini enthusiast it's fixable > Will your insurance allow you to keep the wreck?

Damn. :cry:

Just remember it is your car. The other blokes insurance company can't write off a car they don't own. You don't need to involve your insurance company unless the other bloke won't pay up for the damage he has caused.

Don't take the first offer. Play hardball with them.
