blimey! Glad he's not harmed and he still seems to be smiling! I'd be if I guess if I got out of that car and saw the damage.
I was unsure wether to get to a multi point cage or not, now I'm 150% sure. How fast was he going?

well done to the guy for getting out of that unscaved and im sure the mini will be fine a bit of t-cut and she will be back on the road in no time without using the jump pack

Holy wotsits, Batman. :) :(
That's one hell of a lucky escape.
If he'd had a passenger, there'd be at least one funeral to arrange & probably two.

I bet he's glad he's alive.

I'd imagine he was going ever so slightly fast than that. :)



He's certainly a lucky alive yet alone walking.

Ye gods that was a seriously lucky lad. It does show you what can happen to your mini when it hits something a lot stronger. As Shifty said the shell looked in good order to start with so imagine what a rust bucket covered in filler would have looked like??????
