I left my Mini with my Son in Law for safe keeping - turned out it was a bad move

Oh WOW!!!

That would be devastating. Hoping your son in-law is ok and you had it insured.

Sorry to hear about your mini, I was devastated when I crashed my mini. Losing a mini hurts a lot...

Hoping you can either get it repaired or find another to replace it (which ever you prefer)

Thanks - My Son in law is unreasonably OK - He is in QLD I am NSW, so he will probably stay OK. The car is insured with Shannon's so all is not lost.

Sorry to hear about the mini. If I was him I'd be moving quite far away....

Cheers Brad

I would shoot him..... Glad hes ok for now..... Didn't that car have a 5 speed box and a lot of other goodies...
I have also heard that one of the seats may have a brown stain on them now... ;-)

I think he should donate to getting a Cooper S shell....

So i am not the only one that has bad luck with BRG rovers.
Is it a total loss or are you going to get it repaired?

The lad in the black car did a u turn over double white lines and pushed me into the gutter.
They didnt even breath test the driver.

Sorry to see that. Well, I'm glad you are with Shannon's. In my dealings with them they have been really, really good.

I have lodge the claim but it hasn't been assessed yet - Mike just lost control on a gravel road - I hope not all BRG Rover are cursed, I would quite like to fix this one, I will have to wait and see what the professional verdict is.
