    The car was exactly where I wanted it to be. No more upgrades were needed.

    Meh, a good orbital buffer & some duct tape, and she'll be good to go. Then you can get to work on the MINI. :wink5:

    I KID, I KID!!! :D

    Very sad to see anyone or their ride suffer thru this sort of trauma. I hope both your wife & the MINI will make speedy recoveries.

    I certainly am happy to hear your wife was unhurt. I certainly hope that you are able to keep this MINI. I agree with the comment by Edge above. a 1st generation MINI is a very special car. Hope not to offend our R56 MINI''s, I myself prefer the Generation 1 cockpit. but I envy the R56's better gas mileage. again, glad to hear your wife was alright.
