Will have pics soon, but last night we went out in my friends mini on the tops. Its a mg engine with full race cam etc, rollcage buckets all stripped out, billstein suspension etc.

Today, he set off for work, about 40mph round a corner, THWACK. Front ball joint at bottom snapped, EVERYTHINGS knackered, even his billies suspension. Even the bonnet is knackered!

Bad news, its written off :(engine seems to be ok though, the floor pans all split away because of the solid subframe mounts, but the roll cage helped keep everything together!
