    Holy Moly, that's horrific - sorry to see that.
    Sometimes, i like to sit on the floor, pull my knees up to my chest, wrap my arms around my legs and tuck my head in.

    Why?.......Because that's how i roll.

    Sad to see!

    Think I feel I’ve lost a pure Silver bother. I hope they can fix it rather than scrap as it looks a really nice MINI.
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    I went to get a quote at an official BMW approved body shop and they quoted 5k so looking like the insurance company will probably want to write it off, its a 2003 with low 70k on the clock. The plough damaged the structural panel that runs the length of the car so sadly not just a quarter panel and spray job.
    Only had it since the summer, it got broken in at Knockhill properly and now was just waiting for the snow and rain to clear off before playing on dry roads up in the mountains all summer :(
