I start my Monday Morning off with a phone call to Suzie and learn that she shopping with Kathleen in the Bay Area. We end our conversation as they are leaving and she does not have her phone's blue tooth on to sync with my car. Within 10 minutes I get a text from Kathleen that they are in an accident and to call. Both Suzie and Kathleen are ok with Kathleen more shook up as it was a hit to the passenger side of my car. Now I'm waiting on pictures apparently while in the Bay Area Suzie and Kathleen were hit while in a turn when the car in the inboard lane went straight. Really not the news I wanted to hear but at least the police did respond the other driver had insurance and the police found the other driver at fault.
Sorry to hear that John. Between you, Firebro and Rae, you west Coasters have more then your share of fender benders. :frown5: Jim
Hello MidCal MINI's, Will anyone be getting together this coming Friday in the Fresno area? I can also be reached at [email protected] Thanks, Mark Molina GP 1373
I'll be at Casa Corona as usual between 5:00-5:30 PM. I'm not sure who else will be there since it's a holiday weekend and people may be going out of town. It will be good to see you again. The best number to get me at is the shop number. 559.320.0004. Steve
John.. Sorry to hear about your car and the girls' bad luck. I surely know the feeling and am also grateful no one was hurt. I'll send you a PM with the gal's name that hit me and hope it's not the same person. What dumb luck that might be...(although she was found to be at fault and did have insurance) Hope your surgery went well. Drink lots to ease the pain. :beer
Chief, major bummer man!!! (On both counts.) Have you seen pictures yet? Are you talking about the Tron-mobile?
Thanks Steve, I will contact you at the shop. I just found out today that we will be off this Friday so I will have four days off. I will come down to see you before I head out to Santa Rosa. Mark.
Here is the pictures of the intersection and cars. Suzie was in the outboard #2 lane turning right and the !%$@15 was in the right lane #3 and went straight. $2600 in damages to the our car. Found my missing paint..:incazzato:
Ouch, it's not pretty but everyone is fine and your baby can be fixed. That is good. It looks like only the number one lane can go straight and besides that, it looks like the sign just above the freeway sign says "right turn only". Yeah, no talking their way out of that one! What is that little piece of silver on your fender? It looks like a piece of a reflector? Where did that come from?
It was a piece of their headlight/turn signal assembly that was stuck in the lining... STEVE, thanks for putting the Master Blaster up on the lift to check for other issues that might not have been visible. CUSTOM MINI SHOP AND STEVE ROCK (and yes I said that loudly)
Luckily that's merely a flesh wound. And that's not the car that hit me...... But everyone should be on the look-out everytime they're near a Volvo SUV from Atherton. :lol:
Why are the louvers only on the drivers side, or are they on both, but not noticeable or are they just reflections?? Jim
It was great hanging out with you guys at the shop today! Blake, I really dig the front section of the cage in your car- that's ultra-legit!
