Ouch!

Try not to let it ruin your Christmas.
It'll get sorted soon enough and be good as new.

At least no one was hurt.  :smiley:

gutted for you. Hopefully the insurance gets it sorted.

R32 is a bonus in otherwise bad circumstances. All the best!!

A true nightmare if ever there was one.  Who said they would love a white Xmas?

And be careful of the Accident Management Co.  R32 will no doubt have a higher spot rate than a Gti (although I could be wrong-would have to check).  You are entitled to a like for like replacement as this is a non fault incident but the third party insurers may kick off.  Having said that, that should be the AMC's look out, they take the risk.

Sorry, I'm an Insurance Broker Claims Manager  :laugh:  ill shut up now.........

Hope you get the GTi back quickly pal.

Oh Jesus mate, thats f**kin horrible. I really don't know quite what to say. I'm glad you're not hurt.

I hope the insurance covers everything and you get the GTI back to normal asap.

You should have observed his speed and actually speeded up yourself instead of slowing down to a crawl.  Lots to learn yet about driving me thinks.

ie got out of his way.

if I've ever read a more condensending, arbitrary, self-rightous post I cant remember it. If you weren't there how can you possibly make such a sweeping statement?

Lots to learn about social decorum and haste when posting me thinks......had a couple of beers have we?
