Welcome to the Irish Mini Owners Club forum. Celebrating 30 years of the Irish Mini Owners Club, 60 years of the Mini, 50 years of the Clubman and 20 years of our flagship event MTM
Stan some good might come out of this. I think bad luck and the weather have been against you more so that
your driving, we were all there with our first mini and got away with it, but you did,nt but thats life ! This might
be the time to make a few changes to stud and make it look and drive the way you want it . So chin up mate I am
sure all on here will help you get her back on the road in any way they can . I know the ammount of money the car
cost you to buy and insure and with all that has happened I might have given up by now on it so fair play to you .
Get onto your insurance company mate and see can you postpone your insurance maybe ......no point letting it run out with no car on the road. Dont tell them you crashed it though. I did this in Australia for my Hyundai when I hit a Kangaroo near Coober Pedy but I dont know about doing it here.
And I said, Officer, I didn't want to be drunk in public...I wanna be drunk in the bar. Now last time I checked it was still legal to be drunk in the bar. They threw me into public...arrest them!

The car wouldn't have left longford if someone hadn't got a seltbelt on. When was driving Stud he was behind Mustard and the windscreen got chipped but after the crash it had cracked. Thanks for all the offers lads, once I'm bothered to show interest in Stud again I'l be in touch.

That sucks Stan. I have a toughened windscreen you're welcome to if you want. Think we have a bonnet too that we can let go for little money. Will let you know.
I wrote my first Mini off after a week so you're no the only unlucky member here!
