glad to hear shes alright. i hate driving in the rain, can never trust any one else on the road.

[ZM Blue Devil]

glad she is ok, thats whats important.

did I hear a rumor about a mini pick up with a s38 project?

[Nicademus]

That really sucks. I just found this thread for the first time and was reading through it. Then out of nowhere this happens. Sad :(

[elsabor67]

Good that the driver's ok. How hard did she get hit from behind? That is some serious damage!!

[Spiff325iS]

Daaaaaaaamn! Glad the passenger/driver is okay. That's some brutal damage :(

[Tavern Gnome]

That sucks! Oh well, job security! I wish more of our customers were out wrecking their cars!

last night driving in the rain she got hit hard from behind, spun and hit the guardrail







the driver is ok, minor brusing from the seatbelt and airbag. Will take the car appart on Mon to determine the damage

Yeah I know its got a critical difference of some sort which prevents it from being compatible with E30 rims.

I'm not sure what the offset is but I'm sure that plus center bore is 1 of the reasons I've only seen 2 e30's with mini wheels and they were online. They were running spacers too.

I woulda done the skirts etc in white. maybe? looks good though.

I thought about it but decided on red to mimic the works edition mini cooper - $51k sticker price at the dealer :shock:



like I said, I need to take some better pics, specially some shots from the top, the car looks absolutely gorgeous, I already had 3 other mini driver's asked me what edition mini this was - 'Vlad my ride' edition.. LOL :D
