Had the day off today so went on a bit of a drive. Found myself on a new road so stuck below limit as it was tight country road. When some **** whit came flying round the corner in range rover smashed my front end in and flew into the wall behind.
I'm ok just bit of a sore back but my S3 looks like a write off! ;(

Thanks mate, but only 14,000 miles on the clock it was just run in!

Ah well I guess I should buy an STI8 PPP to get me over this idea I must own a scooby atleast once in my life out of my head. Just till the 3.2A3 comes out!

Thought of the Golf too, I keep thinking I don't think I'll get and STI8 afterall. Don't know why don't think clients will like the image.
Why not the new 3.2 A3 never had a go in the R32 anygood loved it when I sat in it!

If I could afford it (I`m about to go diesel so the Golf`s out) I`d get an R32. It`s awesome, fantastic exhaust note, good pace and the usual solid feel of VAG cars. The only thing against the R32 is the fact that the Mk5 Golf will be out soon.

I agree, an STI8 is excellent but a bit too "in your face" for business use.

Bad news GTI - I would be upset if my S3 was written off. Especially if only had 14,000 miles on it.

At least you are fine.

Yeah my backs ok, had it check by a doctor and contacted a solictor.
I think I may have to go and have a look at an S4, didn't realise I could afford one. (Y)
May just get an R32 though as its alot money at the moment with then new house.

I was absoulutley gutted just seeing it so fcuked after all the cleaning and polishing!

Thanks Guys

Thats very unlucky mate, sounds quite serious actually.

With the money you get for having that whiplash and bad back you'll be able to afford a proper car, M3!
