Sorry to hear that mate. Is everyone ok?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Everyone is fine which issue the main thing. The annoying thing was the response I got when I called the police, exchange details goodbye basically.

never good to hear another mini biting the dust,
but if i'd have run into the back of someone the last thing on my mind would be calling the fuzz, they may have turned up and handed you some points for driving withoput due care or worse

I avoided hitting it up the rear but it was the suitably placed traffic island that took out the passenger front wheel and spun the car.

Basically the car infront broke sharply for no reason that could see. If it had happened a yard earlier I would have gotten round the island but in trying to taken avoiding action I steared into the island and clipped it with the left front

Thats sh*t but glad no one is hurt; As Bennyy commented, looks like one of those scam accidents.

I remember the last accident I had, police were less than interested as well.

Donner shell has been found and wheels are being sorced. So when the insurance has had their look see ill get cracking. I had down as worth £8000 but after quick add up think that was way too conservative. The other thing was it wasn't an agreed value so they may value it by its age *frown*

Thats a massive shame, never good to see so much hard work ruined.


Before I insured mine this year I made sure the brakes were upgraded the to ensure I have the best chance against other bellends idiocy as possible. This confirms my decision.

Ouch, hope you're OK, and hope the insurance company pays for what it's worth, not what they think it's worth...

My greatest concern is if they refuse to give me option to buy it back. The motor has only got 350 miles on it from build.
