Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

    Bye bye R32

    My MkV R32 was written off by RACV insurance today.
    The other day a clown come out on my right at a T junction and under-steered across the road directly at me head on. I took evasive action (swerved left but he ran straight into the drivers side)
    Went by Ambulance to Dandy emergency but was "only" diagnosed bruised ribs and whiplash.

    RACV acted pretty quickly after seeing car and assessment report yesterday, wrote if off on the spot, rang me, rang a tray truck and said come and get your stuff.

    Promised me a fair payout so I went a bought my self an 2010 S3 this afternoon 3 hours later.
    Pick it up on Saturday. Suppose Ill be visiting the Audi forums now (As well as the Doctor, Chiro etc )
    I will miss that car, shed a few tears (emotional)
    Best one Ive had in my 61 years, and Ive had a few.

    Have a few items I will sell later but couldn't recover anything other than number plates off the car. They will be for sale too. (R32G)

    Such a loss Baz, I am sure the R32 will be sadly missed. There is a lot of fun to be had in the 8P Audi S3.

    Best of luck with the recovery

      Sad to lose a car you love so much.

      At least you can take comfort in it's last act was to protect you from someone else's idiotic behaviour.

        Good point Wolfgang. No one wants to ever be in that kind of situation but if ever it happens it's good to know that the cars a tough in those sorts of events. I have confidence in the safety provided by VAG vehicles even if there beyond repair at least you walk away.
