HOLY DOOLEY!
*thumbs down to people going thru red lights!!!!!*

Saved by the airbags!
Hope your ok

ThatsMe · Jun 6th, 2007, 10:52 AM

The airbags were deployed so it "should" be an instant write off!

MiniMiL · Jun 7th, 2007, 01:25 AM

It's a damned shame to see a beautiful car like that written off, but at least you are ok

Perhaps the silver lining is you get to spec a new car?

twotwoz · Jun 7th, 2007, 06:37 AM

1. I'm so glad you're ok
2. I want to cry for your MINI

ZapoMCS · Jun 7th, 2007, 09:23 AM

Any news Charles?

21Blue · Jun 7th, 2007, 12:43 PM

bodyshop reckons they won't call me back for at least a week. it allows them time to strip it down and see what needs to be replaced...and some engineer from insurance needs to check it and approve it or something. such a long process, its annoying....I also hope the person that hit me doesn't do a runner...she was uninsured!

Charles,

Good to hear you are ok. Sorry about the MINI.

We are about to set out on a fifteen or sixteen hundred k journey for the long weekend. Will watch red lights (and level crossings) xtra carefully.

M & K

Dont forget to recover your glovebox tidy!

ohh yeah....my GBT.

thanks for that...
I highly doubt they will write it off though....even though I would like them to.

85NIXMIN · Jun 7th, 2007, 03:41 PM

She was uninsured...! AHHHHHHH!
It's unbelievable how many people drive around without insurance!
Are they CRAZY!!!!?????

I would never drive around not unless I had fully comp... faaar too risky to be on the roads these days without it!

ZapoMCS · Jun 8th, 2007, 12:33 AM

Uninsured, well your insurance company will get the money out of them, one way or another, so not fro you to worry about.

mamba · Jun 8th, 2007, 01:51 AM

Sorry to hear/see about this prang.... Good to know everyone came out ok.

Hope it all gets resolved without a hitch.

Looks like a borderline write-off... depends on the figure its insured for.
