Well, the bean has just been written off.

i won't be getting another mini with the money they give me. i won't be leaving the mini scene as i still have the Mk2 rally car, the reason i won't be getting another is because i don't want to replace the Bean, i would also be tempted to use parts off him, which i dont want to do. i want to keep him as himself.

He will be back one day when i can afford a rust free shell, or i fix his shell. i would want to build him up properly, and fit my supercharger i have always wanted.

my next car will be tax exempt as i have got too used to not paying it! lol

so, the Mk2 will be getting lots of attention i presume, and i guess look out for whatever i get in the 'any other projects' section!

Bad luck :ermm:

A sad day for the Bean and you, but hopefully one day he will be back to his full glory.

Was there no way the insurance would budge and do the repairs I'm guessing?
