I was in not one but two accidents yesterday.

ScottyB · Apr 20th, 2004, 11:49 PM

Oh NO!

Both at the same time?

ScottyG · Apr 20th, 2004, 11:53 PM

Oh dear, hope you're ok.

You could always get them to spray it a different colour now!

myonlyclone · Apr 20th, 2004, 11:56 PM

I'm fine. They occured within three hours of each other.

Wetworth · Apr 20th, 2004, 11:59 PM

That's awful

, I sure hope you're in better shape than your poor MINI is in at the moment.

Whose fault were they?

Both on the front too!!! Such bad luck

myonlyclone · Apr 21st, 2004, 12:08 AM

First wasn't my fault, second was but I didn't get a ticket.

Really nice car, really bad day.

Onwards and upwards!

BTW - I quite like that solid gold

ruthie · Apr 21st, 2004, 12:22 AM

Oh dear. What an awful day.

At the end of a day like this, it's still just a car. And, can be fixed with some hassle. Really glad it wasn't you all banged up or any other passengers.

Ditto

bad luck mate, and yes the Solid Gold looks good with a black roof - is SOLIDyour licence plate?

Windshadow · Apr 21st, 2004, 01:08 AM

What a bummer

what happened?

and yes Agree with Mike, I saw A Gold Cooper at the dealer when I got my MINI and I thought it looked really good in person... photos do not do the color justice

ScottyB · Apr 21st, 2004, 01:15 AM

I think it looks good in the photos

Well, apart from all the dents and stuff...

EBMCS03 · Apr 21st, 2004, 07:23 AM

Wooo ouch... sorry to hear... what happened? (if you dont mind sharing)

Root Ginger · Apr 21st, 2004, 08:33 AM

Ouch. Well not wanting too add to your bad day but that is gonna be a nightmare to sort out with the insurance. Who damaged what, that damage must of been caused by the other driver etc etc

beej · Apr 21st, 2004, 09:47 AM

Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you're not damaged as much as the motor.

Is that a UK plate in use in the US? Cool!

scooperman_uk · Apr 21st, 2004, 10:03 AM

sorry to hear about the shunts... im a big fan of gold. matches my shoes and handbags...

myonlyclone · Apr 21st, 2004, 10:26 PM

Thanks for the replys. Yes the insurance is getting to be a real pain. How did it happen, well the first time I was backed into in a parking lot, and the second I was driving down the road and everyone just stopped (some faster than others).

Red Dwarf · Apr 21st, 2004, 10:49 PM

Ouch! I'm not a Gold fan, but I still feel for you.
