Ever wondered what happens if you drive your car over a mattress and just keep on driving? Well, wonder no more, as a thoughtful MINI Cooper S Cabrio owner has done the experiment for you.
As you can see from the pictures the result is not pretty (there’s two more pics after the jump). The owner had not long collected the car from a western Sydney dealer when she reportedly drove over a mattress of some description. Not realising something was wrong she kept on motoring. Soon enough, though, there was a distinct smell of smoke. The driver pulled to the side of the road and within minutes her new car was in flames and just as quickly it was a smouldering wreck.
An eyewitness speaking to ninemsn said, “She was agitated, bewildered and very, very emotional. Everyone thought someone was dead. She was pretty lucky. I told her she should go buy a lottery ticket.”

oops!
Always wondered what my Cool Blue MCSc would look like well toasted! Now I don’t have to do it my self!
That’s an inspired title! 🙂 Sorry to the motorist not realizing that something was in the process of going wrong, however. 🙁
That could ruin your day.
Glad no one was hurt.
Well now she can spend her insurance on the newly re-designed MINI Cabriolet and have herself on of the first. Nothing wrong with the latest and the greatest!
So that’s where I left it! Now, where’s my pillows?
It had to be a woman!
They shouldn’t allow some people to buy Minis!
