Remember this nova from the NW mini meet thread which you can find here - http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97869&highlight=mini

Well the other night Pip the owner had a little mishap on a roundabout on his way back home from riggys or Lee H's garage. (can't remember which 1).

Lost the car on a roundabout under the 627 motorway and went front end 1st into a barrier then spun round and went rear end into it aswell.

Pip is fine but his nova isn't :(

Fitted the rear surrounds then went to his brothers who has the red nova to sort out the rear springs.

Oh on the + side on way to his bro's we stopped off at where the crash was and found his toeing eye cover for the GSi bumper with no damage at all.

Pips face lit up like a bulb lol.

Suppose it's the little things that matter.

Nope. It's just a really bad roundabout that causes crashes.

He was going around when he could feel it going but before he could do anything it gripped and swung the car the other way int othe barrier.

So he was driving like a badger then. Too fast.

Shame tho, at least he found another crash.
