Well...Wreckage..SH*&^ Happens

[N2MINI]

While waiting at a stop light had someone PLOW right into the back of my MINI, which pushed it into the SUV, WITH TRAILER HITCH in front of me. Fun Fun..Process has started on getting quotes and stuff to get it fixed. Luckly it is mainly front and rear bumper covers, but did break a gear/tooth in my seat recliner function. Still driving it though, and once I get it all figured it price wise etc. I can put my stock front bumper cover back on if it will be awhile before getting it into the shop to repair it all.. Will try to add pics here, if not they will be in my gallery..

[TWISTER]

Damn! I hate that for you! But now you can get the aero kit!

sorry about the ride..the aero kit would look awesome on it though!

[09mcs]

i think that we have a aero kit bumper at the store. lemme see what they want for it. i think its silver. just have to have it painted

[DSRH]

Man that is a real bummer. I feel for you....I hope you make it better than ever after the deal is done.....I am sure you will....your graphics are very cool.

[unroolie_julie]

yeouch!.......looks like you need a bandaid and a cocktail!

[Nascar Mini]

Sorry to hear of your accident,go for the aero kit,it would look great in your color!

[Vango]

oouucchh...Its hard to keep things lookin nice with all the traffic now seems like everybody is in a hurry and not payin attention.

I agree the areo kit would look awesome...

[BlimeyCabrio]

Well, problem is that HO is such a "stealthy" color. :rolleyes:

Sorry Bryan - fixable, but a pain in the a$$.

[Duffer]

Bummer, I don't know if it would have helped you, but the brake light pulsar really keeps people off my bumper.

[N2MINI]

Thanks for all the support. Still exploring options right now, on the cost for me to up grade to areo kit, and or pieces of.

Frank let me know what you find out about the bumper there when you can, and anyone else who knows of any info that might help me..

[minianni]

Sorry to hear about this. I bet that massage would be a necessity now.:p

Looks like an aero kit with smoothed and painted arches are in your future.:D

I wonder who has the time to do that?;)

[wildcrazy442000]

One Stout Little Car!!! Held up well considering.

[MidnightDave]

Well that just sux!

[wildcrazy442000]

Perhaps the rear mount machine Gun attachment, would help keep traffic off. Mr. Magoo where are you?

[Sgt Pepper]

Yikes! Sorry to hear about that! Glad you weren't injured, the Mini will be as good as new in no time!

Mike

[wildcrazy442000]

Hi, made any progress with the Car?

[N2MINI]

Hope to have it back in a couple days!!!!

[minimark]

Going to miss the rental car?:D

[N2MINI]

At least I got something decent and not an old escort or something. They put me in a Saturn SUV. It's nice, nice and BIG. Lots of room in it though. I like the big center console and armrest. Lots of storage areas. I feel as if I have to jump up into it. I'm sure the first time I get back in my Mini it will be like sitting on the ground, all over again!!

[minimark]

Haven't been in one but they look pretty nice on the road, def better looking than the old Saturn SUV... Post up a pic of your car when you get it back!:cool:

[TWISTER]

At least this didn't happen to you!

[N2MINI]

Yeah that kinda scares me. never met them but, some what knew who they were. My wreck was nothing like that and not my fault, but has me being extra careful. At least for the time being. I know, I know, but, I am who I am..I'm sure that was a hairy ride. Should get my car back tomorrow. Now if it will just stop raining. Added a couple of in progress pics to my gallery..

At some point I will be selling my Carbon Fiber Front Spoiler, as it will not fit my NEW Aero Kit. Let me know if your interested.. Now I have to start saving for a M7 Splitter I guess. Always something. Now who was it that was going to add me to their Christmas List???

[1QukMINI]

Bryan, I might be interested in the CF spoiler. PM me with how much you might want for it....

[minimark]

At least this didn't happen to you!

Ouch! Is that on the Dragon, what happened, anybody hurt?:eek:

[TWISTER]

I'm so happy your doing pinted arches and the aero kit! That will be one very sharp MINI

[N2MINI]

Time will Tell...

[BlimeyCabrio]

Ouch! Is that on the Dragon, what happened, anybody hurt?:eek:

Yep, Dragon. Dropped a wheel over the white line in a bad spot on one of those evil decreasing-radius corners - it tossed them into the cliff face on the passenger side, flipped 'em, they slid and spun on the roof, slid back into the cliff and it flipped 'em up on the drivers side where they slid until they stopped.

Matt, Kara and their 5 year old son walked away OK - son had a little scrape on the head, and all three had broken hearts, but otherwise OK.

[N2MINI]

Paul, see my other post on helping out on the midnight run..

[minimark]

Thanks for the info Paul, glad no one was hurt. Hope everyone respects and has fun on the Dragon next week!:cool:

[HPUdrew]

Bryan I got a sneek peak of your car today.... oooooooh it looks NICE!!!!

Drew

[N2MINI]

Thanks Drew, Hope to be picking it up shortly.. Then drive it home in the rain. I only live about 10 minutes from there so maybe it won't get too filthy..

[minianni]

Ahhh... Nothing like bringing home your baby in the rain.

[wildcrazy442000]

Good luck, with your like new ride.

[N2MINI]

Picked it up and I'm VERY happy with it. Was wet and nasty when I got home. I'll add some pics to my gallery soon. Lets Motor on!!!!

[minianni]

Get it pretty for the show today.

[1QukMINI]

Can't wait to see it! Glad it's done! Maybe we'll see you on Monday. For now, it's up to Boone for the weekend!

[N2MINI]

Thanks, and congrats to Vango for winning his class.
The wreck was no fun, but the rest of it went as good as I could ever ask for it too.

[UN4G1VN]

Sorry about the ride man... the aero kit makes it sweeter.

[wildcrazy442000]

Looks Great, they (Flow?) did a super Job.

[HotRodPilot]

The car looks great, congrats on the win. What were the classes?

[1QukMINI]

Man Bryan, looks great!

[minianni]

It does look great Bryan. They did an excellent job on the color match.

[localdrummerweb]

the classes were Stock, "Lightly Modified" and "Heavily Modified"..Though me and Vango had some fun trying to figure out how exactly they classified our cars..mine has just as much on it as his but I was in the light class and he the heavy..lots of fun though : )

[BlimeyCabrio]

Very cool stuff... Wish I coulda been there to offer some competition. :p

[MidnightDave]

Paul, it wasn't a dance competition!

[BlimeyCabrio]
