Wow Chris, as everyone else has said I'm glad your ok and the MINI safety features worked. Did you use the MINI accident service. Might speed everything up with the shortfall and stuff. I too was only looking at the pics of your car this morning. Hope you get another MINI soon.

Best of luck.

Paul

Glad you're OK. Make sure you're still OK tomorrow morning. You'll be hurting more then.

Glad you're OK.
Not having a description of the accident and damage it's hard to tell but there might be a good reason your airbag didn't deploy.

That looks like one hell of a smash

hope you get the insurance sorted quickly. If your with Direct Line they are pretty good, a friend of mine wrote off his car a couple of weeks ago and it took Direct Line 4 days to assess the car, agree a price and have the cheque delivered through the post! Can't really argue with that.

Good luck

Seriously though, glad that you're ok and Smiley looked after you.
Hope everything gets sorted and we see Smiley II soon. Will you get another LY/W ?

As one obnoxious person say here in Australia - Crikey!

Glad to hear you're ok. What was the other vehicle? Was that your rear hatch I saw, it must have been one hell of an impact.

I'd love to say, but it's my understanding you're not supposed to talk about the accident until the insurance has dealt with it? I'll keep you all updated once that has been sorted. May be able to work it out from the pics though
