Yesterday morning driving along I managed to spin on a wet patch on a bend and roll the mini into a ditch. Definitely the scariest moment of my life so far.

I went to the hospital and was Xrayed and haven't broken anything, i just have a very sore back and the biggest bruise from my seat belt.

The mini is coming back and i will break it and sell the undamaged parts.- 1275 mg engine, windows, suspension, etc

Fyi, the big dent is from the telegraph pole you can see, there was no one else in the car and if there was in the back they wouldn't have made it

- the front of the passenger compartment was not intruded into.

OMG TIM! That is a scary sight! Very very glad to hear your injuries aren't too bad!

Poor Mini.

The doctor said just before he discharged me 'Maybe you should stay indoors, you must have used up all your luck for today'

I guess not!

I just know a Tim in Hampshire whose dad owns a Mini like that. Well, pre-crash!

[EDIT]Just seen your personal pic. Yeah, you're definitely a different Tim!
