Wow, that's gonna take more than some T-Cut to get out! Glad you are both ok.

Where in North Wales did it happen? Did the chinese survive?

lol, very droll mess!

god knows what the state of a ka and the passengers would be with a smash like that! very scary.

glad to hear you/gf are ok, i was in a accident myself last monday which im still stuck in hospital with lung isues, so i can relate...

mud was the cause of my crash too, the stuff should be banned its to dangerous

rocker4500 · Mar 26th, 2008, 03:35 PM

Bloody hell!!!!! Thats not good at all!!!!!!!

Glad your ok.

RVW · Mar 26th, 2008, 03:48 PM

Glad to see MINI looked after you. Tough little buggers.
You might need to pressure wash it before you T cut

On a serious note, if you are convinced the mud was the cause of the accident , get the police to investigate. If it was then the farmer is liable and can be sy ued for damages to yourself and your MINI. Plus you would not lose your no claims as it would be seen not to be your fault

mister.t · Mar 26th, 2008, 04:01 PM

Jeez if I'd seen the description and the pictures before the outcome, Id have been startled to find that you'd survived, let alone survive without any major injuries. Glad to see that you and your GF are OK(ish)

S8RAH · Mar 26th, 2008, 05:10 PM

Glad you're both OK, you were so lucky you were in a MINI!
I'd be worried if I saw that mess and didn't already know you were safe.

uncle albert · Mar 26th, 2008, 05:25 PM

Crikey, you sure don't do things by halves do you! More importantly, was the takeaway okay??

In all seriousness, it's good to see the car doing it's job properly. Be grateful you weren't driving a lesser car.

AprilWhine · Mar 26th, 2008, 05:28 PM

Oh my!

Glad you're both ok, but I don't see how you weren't badly injured!

minisoopercooper · Mar 26th, 2008, 05:30 PM

glad your both ok - certainly was a bad one

Darthbladerni · Mar 26th, 2008, 05:34 PM

Thats damage is crazy!!! Even though the car is a totaled the main thing is that you both are ok, the car can be replaced.

Minis really do, do there job properly for protection.

Glad you are ok though!

Obviously being everyone was ok, I was thinking about the Chinese as well…….

Oh and I had a mate that wrote off a car.

He started and at this point he’s a Sunday driver!

“It started with there was a dip in the road, then Mud, then a fence, then a wee jump, then a field of sheep. The mud and the road were to blame it seemed…..and the sheep”

So I said “ So you were driving like a mad man”

He said “Yeah showing the girlfriend how well the car handled”

N20 · Mar 26th, 2008, 06:20 PM

That's some damage

never seen a MINI like that before

Glad your both OK

billy.batson · Mar 26th, 2008, 07:24 PM

Nobody here seems to consider that, mud or no mud, had you been driving within safe limits, it would not have happened. Think yourself fortunate that there were no pedestrians at that spot or you could be facing a manslaughter charge.

Still, glad you are both OK!

Hugo · Mar 26th, 2008, 07:28 PM

That was some accidient, lucky the Mini with stood it. As long as you both where not seriously injured.

mini33 · Mar 26th, 2008, 07:48 PM

who flaming h**l that centeranly a right of & i'm not a car mechanic!! its reassuring to know that you came out more a less unscavved - that will make me think twice about belting along the country lanes & mind the mud!!! I realise you mini prob your pride & joy like most of us but as most of the gang have said you can get another mini but got cant get another of you & your GF

Maybe you will think twice about showing off & the take away!!!

Hope you recover soon & get another Mini - We look forward to seing the new version & the old versions RIP

Best Wishes
