Handbrake issue?

I think someone forgot to put the handbrake on? I saw this today while in Rotherham.

Countryman is boak, and the Paceman is also one fugly car. Even the mini website won't show a proper image of its rear end.

Hideous thing. I hate the current Minis, they are expensive for what they are, I would much rather have a Ford Fiesta.

My wife likes the mini on the outside but the inside is too plasticy and she doesn't like the huge speedo. Each to there own but the price of them is silly too. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

It was at the Parkgate retail park Bambi, me and the wife like it there. It got me thinking, if the BMW driver got to the car first what would he/she do? Apart from taking photos/details etc if the BMW moved first there is a potential for the Mini to start moving again and bump into another car! I know if it was my car that was involved I would stick around to see the other driver. Like wise as I said to my wife the Mini driver could come back first and flee the scene. I don't know if much damage was done as I didn't want to be too nosey! I wish i'd have stuck around to see the outcome but I had places to be. lol Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

Its probably more common than people realise, at least the one I saw in Rotherham no body was injured. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

No it should be the the MINI MAXI bring back the old Austin/Leyland name.
Those MINIs are more like a pregnant MINI.

Back to the photo, it would have made more sense to see a builders Transit parked like that instead of the MINI, its usual for them to park that close.
