I was rear-ended by a Honda Ridgeline truck. Everyone was ok. The big truck seemed just as damaged as my Mini, maybe even more. Check out the pictures.

Ouch!!

Glad everyone was okay!

ALD0 · Sep 4th, 2007, 04:50 PM

Crikey thats some damage, glad everyone was ok, seems the MINI took it well...

Buffster Bird · Sep 4th, 2007, 04:58 PM

The MINI stood up to it well. I'm pleased that everyone is alright.

OUCH! Poor MINI! Glad the truck looks as bad a shape if not more.

You've got a good looking MINI there hope its back to its former glory soon! x

Ewww... poor thing...

That other big beast looks worse off!!

Hope your ok!

Paul · Sep 4th, 2007, 06:21 PM

Ouch.

yellowmininy · Sep 4th, 2007, 06:22 PM

Yikes! I'm glad you're OK. I got hit by a dump truck 2 years ago, but I think that impact was at a much slower speed than yours, but I also found the Mini holds up well. I hope the repair or replacement goes smoothly!

JAMIE1131 · Sep 4th, 2007, 07:55 PM

Glad everyone is ok, hope you get a shiny new MINI soon, that one looks like its done its duty in protecting its occupants!

CC07ERS · Sep 4th, 2007, 08:00 PM

mister.t · Sep 4th, 2007, 08:02 PM

How fast was the truck going when it hit?

DevilRat · Sep 4th, 2007, 08:28 PM

Ouch, poor little MINI!

118 · Sep 4th, 2007, 08:54 PM

Japper · Sep 5th, 2007, 07:06 AM

Glad you're ok.

Surprised how well the MINI stood up against that truck.

ScottyB · Sep 5th, 2007, 07:16 AM

Dayummm!!

That's a biggie!

Glad everyone was okay.. hope its all sorted for you quickly and painlessly!

Hillary · Sep 6th, 2007, 08:16 PM

Mini stood up well!! Personally I think she did better than the truck!

recently I took out a street sign and went thru a cornfield and mini came out of it really well! I was very shocked--afraid to get out of the car until the cop told me it wasn't 'that' bad!

EBMCS03 · Sep 10th, 2007, 02:35 AM

Wow did all the rear windows blow out?

Any pictures of how the rear seats look now? Curious how bad it would have been for passengers sitting in the back. Prob some cuts due to the glass
