Hello,

I recently purchased a mini cooper s.. probably one of the most exciting things i have done.. looked at it everyday and was my baby..

Well Last night though i had a major car accident and my mini is no more.. the main thing is me and my 3 friends survived and i appreciate that so much.. Our luck was in as they say.
I will post pictures later but the car swerved , spun out skimed a lampost and turned onto its roof into a field.

The reason why.. someone deciding to play games when i overtook him when he was driving slowly.. speeding up as i went past.. then either understeering or pushing me out to the kerb and thats all i remember properly... luckily my friends pulled us out as they were following behind.. the other car left the scene.

Im still shocked.. but im alive.

lots of love

That's awful The main thing is you and the passengers are ok.

[dazzpowder]

Did anyone get the other cars details?

[drumzz]

damn! do u live in the london area? good 2 see that you are ok..would really be interested to have a look at pictures..thanks

[sef]

Glad you are all okay... I hate it when people do what you describe... I hope someone got his details...

[pappillon]

It's shocking that people can be so reckless So glad you and your friends are ok, and the MINI obivously did a grand job saving you from harm

[Mike Clarke]

Shame about the MINI but glad that you and your passengers are OK

[KillerByte]

Sorry to hear about this, but the MINI did its job. Glad you and your friends are safe and well.

Hopefully you will be a MINI owner again one day.

Sorry to hear that Sam, but as you say the main thing is you and your mates are all ok. Would be interested to see the pics of the car to see how well it held up to it.

Glad to hear you are all still in one piece. Persons who wrecklessly and deliberatly try to force another off the road should be up for attempted murder. What other result are they expecting other than death?

I had a similar experience only a few days after picking up my MCS. 100yds after light 2 lanes merge. I am in MCS outside lane, set off reasonably. Muppet in 4x4 in inside lane when he sees my tail lights floors his 4x4. OK so I back off and I avoid an incident.

Girfriend didnt see it like that, she assumed i had somehow given a secret signal to race the 4x4 driver. Got ear ache all night!! At least thats all that was aching.

Anyone reading this, you love your car, someone tries someting on. Back off!! you win.

I've had quite a few people do that (drive slow, speed up when you want to over take), but nothing that serious.

Glad you and your friends are OK.

Glad to hear all are OK, and the Mini can be fixed or replaced. Sadly, we're hearing more & more of mean-spirited people on the roads.

having said this, a while ago i was driving down a dark country road at night going the speed limit and some punk in a mondeo tried to overtake me at about 60/70 and lost control and spun out in front of me, I was pretty shook up because I had only just started driving and for months afterwards I had a phobia of people trying to overtake me. I personally never overtake on a single carriageway due to this..

Hey SamR,

Glad you and your friends are okay. I can't believe they didn't even stop! I mean it's one thing to be a total idiot and cause an accident, but to not even stop is something else entirely! There really are some complete losers in this world, no sense of morality, it makes me so cross!

I hope someone managed to get their number plate. People like that should be put behind bars!

[minicabrio]

Hey Sam,

Very nasty accident, but glad you and your friends are okay!!

Hope the insurance comes through for you, and you're back behind the wheel of a MINI soon!

[JAMIE1131]

Woah! thats a big one. glad your all okay, surprised the airbags didnt deploy!

[supa-dupa-cooper]

Oh my god, thats awful!

Looking at those pics, you were very very lucky!

[Paul]

Going to take more than a bit of T-Cut to sort that out for sure!

Amazing how many roll over accidents we've seen on here and everyone seems to get out OK, thankfully!

[LizzyG]

Crikey, that was a bad accident - glad you were all ok, were you injured at all though, even slightly?

Like the others have said, did anyone manage to get the reg number of the who forced you off the road? I guess the police must be involved?

[118]

wow, you were very lucky to get out of that ok. sorry to see your MINI like that, but main thing is you're all alright
