I will continue to be thankful that nobody was in the passenger seat at that moment.

 

Glad she walked away unharmed John.

 

Nope never crashed it or put it in any ditch.

I think that is more an LXM thing. (League of X-stream Morons) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

It was my first MINI. An '09 R56 S. It was rebuilt. I drove it for another year, then traded it in and upgraded to my current '06 R53.

Haven't crashed mine on track or on the road, but I did submerge it once. After the fish were removed from the engine bay all was well. Nothing damaged, the fish were delicious.

 

I remember that one too. YIKES!!! Got there as that poor lady was climbing out of her car. She was really out of it & kept asking me what had happened. Stayed with her until the squad arrived. Luckily only metal was bent & not flesh & bones.

That is a terrible place for a driveway, bad line of sight & that day a low glaring sun for you coming in. When traveling in that direction I use the next drive for obvious reasons.

 

Never with a MINI, but my wife did this to her E36 and luckily walked away unharmed...

 

My wife and son survived a roll over crash in our old 528i twenty years or so ago. I'll always have a Beemer in my garage.

 

The best part of your crash was everyone walked away ok.

Also you were able to dump that R56 and upgrade to an R53.

 

Yeah I saw her also I was on-site recording it.

She works at Fontana and aimed right for Savvy for what he did to the Main Lodge bathroom earlier. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

lol...dare I ask?

I might jinx myself for typing this, but I've never been in an accident. Unless you count the stupid girl who decided to attempt to back out of a drive-thru with me and a line of cars behind her...sigh.

 

Learned you really should not try and reset the car by shutting down and restarting while doing 70 MPH on the Highway. The Steering Wheel llockedmon me, then car spun and I was facing an 18 Wheeler. Yeah, that was a pucker moment.

Luckily, I got it refired and out of harms way.

 

Love that video Savvy.

I have it saved also as a reminder of what not to do at the Dragon.

I look at it as a good thing since you upgraded from an R56 to an R53. :devil::lol:

 

Slid my 2003 R53 into a round-about curb. Not really much damage but car was totaled because floor pan bent right at seat belt mount. Now 8 years of driving my 2006 R53 safety.

 

No, I haven't wrecked it. One of the advantages of aging is it doesn't take as much to get the adrenaline flowing as it did in younger years. I no longer expose myself to unnecessary risks, especial when the penalty for failure could be death.

 

The best part about Savvys accident was we had the car driven all the way back to Philly. (700+ miles away)

The funny part was NOBODY tried to pass that car on the right when they saw that damage.

 

Don't ask, you do not want to know. :eek6:

Savvy and I are friends and we all stay at the same cabin. Its all in fun.

 

I think I saw that movie years ago!:lol:

 

I just found out that my KIA REO was classified as the most dangerous car

on the road. Hot damn!!:beer
