Saw an unfortunate Mini on the TV3 News this evening, had slid on the icy road and crashed damaging the front fairly badly.
It was a cream 00 Mini Seven I think.
:( :( :(

Saw that mini on tv3 the other night think it might be the one the fellow in the merc skidded into.
He then went across the road and was lucky to stop in the ditch before he went down the hill.
