car is well n truly foooked. both wheels, front bumper, wing and both door. drivers door just about opens.. and drives a little funny.

the other guy was going waaay too fast and i could see the ice on the road and had slowed almost to a stop. he came round the corner understeering and then slammed on, and into me and down the side. good old tranny driver eh!! :undecided:

yeah.. was a transit van. I knew as soon as he came around the corner he was going to loose it. As you can see he pushed me onto the kerb and only a couple of inches from that metal handrail :shocked:


Will be getting collected tomorrow.. and a replacement car dropped off. Spoke to the bodyshop of the dealer i used last time and he said they would look into using their accident management company. As they dont have any mk6 gti's available i did manage to convince him i need an R32!!!  :evil: :evil: :evil:

so maybe some good will come of this after all :undecided:

Gutted for you  :cry: - I had a delivery van slide out infront of me this morning because he was driving like a tw*t. Fortunately I was able to stop in time.

tbh he got straight out and asked if im ok etc etc, and knew it was his fault so i didnt really fly off the handle. Sh1t happens (and there were 2 of them :grin:) but it was just at the entrance to a primary school at 3.30 so within about 30sec after the accident there were cars all over the place, and we were blocking the road.

I just took a few pics and his details, then moved the car to have a look at his van.. which was a shed anyway!!

i just want another R32 to boot around in for this crap weather :evil:

Glad you're in one piece though; cars are easy to replace, people aren't  :smiley:
