    I feel your pain! The same thing happened to me in New Mexico on the way home to Florida. Knocked off my whole lower front bumper and shoved the AC condenser into the radiator. I managed to limp most of the way home after being patched up by the great techs at MINI of Dallas, but had to leave her at MINI of Pensacola when she started making a bad noise. But 2 weeks later I went back out and picked her up and she's good as new now.

    I am so sorry that such a great trip had this ending.
    Fortunately, everyone is unharmed.
    I hope your R53 is soon repaired and you are motoring again.

    So sorry to hear this. We have similar issues with I-20 in Georgia/Alabama. Glad you are okay and had a great trip otherwise.

    We have family in Berwick, PA and have been on this road several times. I can understand your frustration. Sorry you had a bad close out to your trip. Hopefully looking through the pictures it will make it all worth while in the end.

    Sorry to hear about the R53. Not only the roads but they should not allow the trucks to run retreads!

    Many years ago in land far far.... Wait wrong story, many years ago I was on Rt80 in Jersey in my TR6 with the top down when one blew out just as I passed! That thing would have taken my head off!

    Glad your ok and hopefully back up and running soon!

    It is not the retreads, but the drivers who do not check their tires. Running on a flat will cause the tire to let go with sometimes tragic consequences.

    packimocity- Hope you get that R53 up & running soon. Glad you are OK.
