Im sorry to see this happened to a really nice MINI, but as others have said i think you are lucky you didn't kill anyone else driving at that speed, ignoring the limits

Don't buy a fast car like a Cooper S unless you can learn to control it

Driving at this speed is bound to result in accident sooner or later I'm suprised the damage is not a great deal worse. But let's face it any "S" driver who claims they have'nt done 95mph on a least one occasion is telling supercharged fibs! But this is a stark reminder to us all how dangerous poor driving i.e lack of concentration can be.

Looking at your profile, your only 18, yet another reason ^^ to back up why younger people shouldnt be buying a car like an S with little to no driving experience.....

Don't lump all young people in the same boat there are just as many idiot drivers on the roat who are old as well as young.

Yasser mate, sorry for the car, but your lucky you didn't kill someone and if you had I'd of had no sympathy for you. You've just given a lot of young drivers a bad name

Yeah 95mph in a straight line on a motorway looking in the direction your going and concentrating is hardly the same.

I think this is exactly it, not all young drivers are idiots (i am still a fairly young driver at 21, but *touch wood* never been in an accident) but when something like this happens it gives us all a bad name

Ouch for the MINI, but driving at 95mph in the wet and around a bend is just stupid, unless it involves a track.

I don't know how you've got the nerve to even make a thread about your mindless behaviour!

That car was wasted on you and you certainly do not deserve to own such a lovely car, if any.

I hope the police are involved in this and you get a ban, you bloody well deserve it you idiot!



Now with rear wheel trickery! Zoom Zoom!

There is spirited driving and stupid driving.

Sorry to see such a nice car go, and your lucky to be alive and not hurt anyone else.

This gives young drivers a bad name, im only 19 but have had no crashes! touch wood!!!

Anyone here of the 18 y/o with the m5 in america?

There's a time and a place so hopefully you've learnt that lesson. Glad you're okay though.

Can't believe how well the car stood up to a 95mph accident... I'll feel even safer in mine now

to slag off young drivers with fast/nice cars is just plain rude, u may not call it jealousy, but im sure if u were 18 and had a cooper s u wouldnt say no. im 18, have a cooper s, touchwood havent got into an accident. and just because you are older doesnt mean you are a better driver, there are hundreds of 17/18year olds that know how to drive a car better/safer than many 40+ year olds.

sorry to hear about the car yasser, just hope you've learnt a lesson.

Nice work, bet your mates were well impressed with you not paying attention to the speed limits! Like everyone else has said, you had it coming!
Not all young drivers are dangerous behind the wheel of a fast car but a good deal of them shouldn't even be trusted with a metro let alone a 170BHP hot hatch, I think this thread proves that!
