I bet that excludes mine

I unfortunately know it includes mine.
My wife and I were driving back from our daughters two weeks ago and an oncoming car swerved to miss another car that had skidded out from a junction. He hit me side on and I've got to say I know air bags are something you think you will never need but they are a bloody marvellous invention. Three air bags were activated just on my side two drop down to cover the windows (door and rear side) and one popped out of the side of the seat (always wonderd where they came from) it just rips open the stiching down the side of the seat and protectcs your body. This all happens so fast you don't actually see the bags appear.
Anyway my head hit the bag covering my door window so I think I might be lucky to walk away unhurt.
As for my pride and joy (car not wife) she has suffered £5Ks of damage and I'm due to get here back on 2 March. Just hope they do a good job.

I'm so glad I was in a Golf

That's very good!! Much safer than an XC90

Yes, but they didn't drive the Golf into an XC-90. I know where I'd rather be sitting if these two cars hit each other.

Sorry to hear that mate, glad your both ok.

As far as I concern, the Mk 6 Golf GTI is still the best allrounder for a fast family Hatch! Nothing else come close!

Gti is on order and about to order XC90 (changing from Freelander 2  -  great car but sought after on used car market and there are great deals around on the XC90 'Active'  -  good time to sell Freelander and to buy XC90)
