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.
