Ouch Vlad, glad everone's ok!

Put a sticker on that one! Look at rails, i can see the right one is bent at 45 degrees!

I say let the insurance company total it, take the money and run!

[norwood e30]

yes very nice i see your selling the e30 m3 vert on ebay. That car is so freaking clean you can eat off it lol. keep up the good work bro

[Rolla1990]

Holy shit that Mini really absorbed some force! Pretty amazing the windshield didn't even break though. Glad everyone's OK.

I would take a fiat 500 over a non s model mini. The interior is sweet.

[vlad]

You know Vlad, looking at the Abarth, if you take all the added things on it, to me it would look like a new model Fiat 500 (Cinquecento).

LOL... that is exactly what it is - Fiat 500 (Cinquecento) on stereoids

[elsabor67]

very true, the new abarth kind of looks like mini



if it was available here in the US, I would get it, I came back from Italy about a month ago and all I can say that the new Fiat Abarth is uber hot !

Glad the driver is okay!

I had my doubts on the mini's safety but it looks like it took it well...thank goodness for that.

Good to see the car took a beating and not her

thanks guys ! Very true, Mini is VERY SAFE ! very hard hit in the front, but both doors open without any problems. Modern safety is no joke, they really put the I in the design !

[Aerton]

Good that no one was injured, how many cars where involved and what did the other cars look. I'm curious seeing how well the Mini took the accident what the other cars looked like. So Vlad no any good body shops? lol

thanks guys ! I will take the car appart next week to see the damage to the internals. Cars are replaceable, people are not, that's what's important

[Jand3rson]

last night she got hit hard from behind

Sorry, but being the asshole that I am, I had to take this one and run with it.

:D

Sucks to hear about the car, Vlad, it was looking hot!

And as far as Mini wheels go, the only thing stopping them from fitting on an E30 is like Curt said, the smaller centerbore. However, any competent machine shop could easily machine them out to 57.1, for probably pretty cheap.

[aproy]

wow that does suck hard. the weather was crazy here last night. i drove up to stamford and saw 2 bad accidents on the merrit. glad everyone is ok though. minis are replaceable.

[318isbmw]

Glad she's ok. That sucks what happened to the car though. That's some good damage.
