Black Ice....Grrrrrrr...Bump!!!!

[onzarob]

Thanks to a case of freezing rain and an unlucky day,my car is now awaiting the inevitable write off.

I managed to slow my car on a very icy road as everywhere there was carnage!!!. Unfortunelty the car behind did not have the same qulity of brakes as my Audi!!!!

I slowed looked in the rear view mirror and thump, my car is 3 inch+ shorter!!!

No I'm on the hunt, just hope the hunts at the insurance company give me enough money to replace it!!!!

Oh that would be so nice, I'll dream of that:D

I not sure what will turn up yet, but i just replace the rear discs and pads, did a HID upgrade and generally all in fine fettle. I done a search on a few sites and you just now anythiny under £3K is being sold because it a: a petrol or b: a broken diesel :(

[Eshrules]

Rob mate, hope you're physically ok (I'd say the same mentally, but ya'know :P)

in regards to your replacement, say your model was a cherished version and get one of these to replace it :

you know it makes sense :biglaugh:

[zollaf]

glad your not hurt. get yourself to casualty, tell them your neck hurts and youve got a serious whiplash injury. that should net enough dosh for a really nice car.

[paul b]

Very unlucky Rob. Hope the insurance company give you a decent sum.

Was the car that ran into you, a Beamer? :p

Sorry it's the wrong time to joke!

You could get a very decent Octavia TDI for £3k.

I get the feeling you're an Audi man though.

Paulb I like the Audi, but the Ocatvia would be better as I have a dog now ;)

To be honest after reading this article http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/7841711.stm

I feel that I should be grateful at just walking to the hard shoulder ;)....

[onzarob]

Did I mention I have an Alfa 156 JTDm as a hire car......cooolllll:D

[MalcQV]

Rotten news Rob, glad you are OK. The car can be replaced but I know what a pain that can be.

What do you think of the Diesel Alfa then?

Nice to be in a Italian car again, can't believe there using the same ergonomic dummy for the seating position ;)

It goes and growls great, nice 5 cylinder turbo so loads of low down grunt, but as you expect it still goes better if you drive it Italian style ;)

I'll give a full report when i driven it more ;)
