Oh dear, hope you're ok.

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.

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

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

It was acceptable in the 80's

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!

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).
