my beloved gti is now WRECKED!
« on: 24 February 2010, 05:30 »
picture the scene.... yesterday morning.  a very, very quiet residential street, a light dusting of snow.  along came this a3 going so fast towards top of one road with a speed bump at the end.  my bro in the gti only 20metres from home, the entrance to the estate just yards ahead gets t-boned by this muppet- he only lived on that road that he came from.  must of been in a rush to leave home.  he apparently braked but come over the speed bump, hit my car as it past, which hit the parked whhite estate.  the a3 which then subsequently turned a 360 facing where it came.  ps check out the white estate, you can  clearly  see where it was parked.  gti badge was missing and is still missing.  some liquid at the front right- must be brake fluid i think.  hell knows how long its gonna take to get fixed.  now i have to settle for a peugeot 207.  i dont do french but thats what i got till its sorted.  thank god he had insurance that tool!!

Good morning.
How absolutely awful. I am sure you are gutted.
Thankfully you are ok.
The car will be fixed and you will put it behind you.
In sympathy,

Sorry to hear that, you must be gutted. It doesn't look that bad, however, and should be quite repairable. The A3 seems to have come off a lot worse! I can't believe all that ice & snow on the road, though: don't the councils put salt down anymore? :shocked:

Bad news - but it's not too bad and certainly repairable.

Stay optimistic, fella.

Main thing is you're ok. You must be gutted though, I definately would be. Hope you get a quick fix for this and back on the road in no time :)

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Sorry about your car mate, but as others have said, it looks like it's only cosmetic.  Look at the state of the front wheel on that A3!

Main thing is that youre safe, and no-one injured.  it couldve been a lot worse!

Good luck with the insurance!!
