Just viewed the aerial view on the 100+ pileup in Kent, and footage shows a VW transporter in the carnage with white Golfs on board:-

Hope everyone is OK with all the vehicles involved.

Lots of white Golfs involved....

The cars on the carriers look fine, it’s all the mobile cars around them that have taken a battering.
At least it was only fog and not hailstones.

I hope there’s no fog on the Tyne when mine is taken to Pulman! :laugh:
-
Looks like I can see atleast 1 white 3dr gti with the 19 inch wheels. Second from the back on top
Most important thing though, doesn't look like anyone has been killed

Yep. Was very thick this morning I have to say - doesn't help there were people driving without any lights on whatsoever :rolleyes:

There's a song in there somewhere,
The second transporter looks like Toyotas to me so no great loss.
It is pretty amazing that there are no deaths with a pile up like that.

Probably testament to how much safer cars are these days. In the past it would have been far worse.

Definitely! Glad no one seems to have been seriously injured

This bridge is only 15mins away from me and not only is it bloody high it's a really fast strip of road so how anyone didn't go over the side is unbelievable. :shocked:
-
I'm surprised there weren't more transporters involved tbh as a sh!t load of vehicles come in and out of the docks on the Isle of Sheppey daily.

I emailed the pic to my dealer while I was on the phone to her and she almost wet herself laughing out of today despair :smiley:
Said if it has to go to VW UK for damage checking she'll cancel it and order another one as it would probably be quicker!

She couldn't say, entirely possible though as it shows as being on it's way down south from Sheerness at the moment. The level of information that's been available since it arrived in the UK last Saturday has been zero.

Got everything crossed for you mate. It would be dreadful luck if that was your car. You never know, if it yours, it might not have a scratch on it.

And you might be able to blag some extra money off! On second thoughts I doubt it... but its worth a try!

Looking at different vids of the crash from choppers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS6TlAOnVx4 etc. This transporter (the one at the front) doesn't appear to be to be in the thick of it, nor do the cars look like they've moved. The one behind it looks worse, think it's carrying Toyota's.
