I kind of crashed my MINI. On the plus side, got out alive and with only a broken collar bone, shows how safe they are smile

I actually hit a tree at 45mph, and yes, that is my engine and gear box on the floor in front of the car :/










And this is what i have left of the car.

Alot of people have said about that front tire, but it passed its MOT only 2 weeks before the accident so i guess it was ok

You certainly did a proper job on that one.

Seriously though, glad you made it out OK. Cars and trees don't mix well; lost a friend about 20 years ago when he spun his Metro into a tree.

OP... what a coincidence: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Both yellow 05 plates!
May you please tell me how much you've been paid out? I'm battling with my insurer since December for a suitable pay out!
