    The MINI gave its life so you could keep yours. That is loyalty, or a very well built car.

    Yeah, from those pictures that pretty much sucked. Glad you are OK, the MINI can be replaced.

    You can find something else for the adrenaline, perhaps bungee jumping or parachuting. :)

    Take care...

    DANG! Not many theme parks have rides that wild. Glad you're okay.One of our local members rolled his '02 MCS a couple of years ago. I let him store it at our body shop for a good while. It rolled twice and you could still open and close both doors. He got out with just a few scratches. His also landed on the drivers side. They are well built cars.

    Don't worry, there are many pre owned MINIs out there waiting for adoption. Good luck with your search!

    Right lol although it was not the smartest thing I have ever done(biggest adrenaline rush ever!) I will not make that mistake again... I'm heart broken that Miles isn't here anymore. Might of found a great deal so I can venture home soon.

    Congratulations on walking away from that! Be patient and look for the right car. Buy a beater if you need basic transportation so you don't have to jump into the wrong MINI too soon.

    Looks similar to what I did in my 86 BMW 325. Except the fact that the only thing damaged on it was the drivers door and mirror. Not even a scratch or bruise on me. Glad you made it out alive. I know the adrenaline rush you're talking about. Pretty awesome but not worth doing again lol.
