    Well my 6th Grandchild was born on the 25th of Feb. and was on my way to the ATM on the 28th at 11:00 pm so I could go leave out the next morning. Well to make a long story short I had a Chevy C20 van with it's high beams on and was across the yellow line so I either had to hit it head on or take to the ditch and take out a barb wire fence. So after haggling with my ins. co. I finaly got it into the body shop. It was mainly cosmetic damage and was still driving as before, so it will be painted back to Liquid Yellow with a White top but won't have the checker board top. It will have a Dodge Viper SRT Stripes on the hood and roof and down the back just around the back up light and will all be cleared over the stripes and have a JCW grill and blacked out headlight and tail light rims. So that is why I haven't been on the board here lately.

    Welcome back, post up some pictures of your MINI when all is done.

    Ditch and a fence, better than face plant into the truck, I hope your recovered as well.

    They gave me a Blue Book of $9417.00 and the estimate for repairs were $6400.00 so I hope it will be out of the shop soon.
