Owen VR6 0 Posted August 14, 2007 Look what happened on the way home from work............ :( :( :( Absolutley gutted, words don't describe it. My poor car.... Walked out of it fine though, not a scratch, only nettle stings from crawling out. A testament to the safety of VWs if ever the was one. Anyone selling a corrado as mines abit past it i think! 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfIMG_2389.JPG[/attachment:04fd0] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted August 14, 2007 I was going to ask for first dibs on the exhaust then saw your list of recent mods and thought it wasn't so funny anymore. Very sorry to see what's happened but glad you are OK. P.S. Can I have the gear stick and surround? :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grimmy 0 Posted August 14, 2007 So sorry to see another corrado written off, you must be absolutely gutted. Really does go to show what they can take though. Best of luck sorting everything out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtytorque 0 Posted August 14, 2007 sorry but I'm intrigued how the cucumber got to be there?!??? :scratch: Anyway glad you are in a fit state to tell the tale,sorry about the rado though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted August 14, 2007 First wet spell after a period of dry weather .. no grip is to be expected. You have to take it easy out there boys and girls .. I was finding the VR spinning the wheels in 2nd this morning, without even really trying. Nasty accident though, you were exceptionally lucky to get out of a rolled 1990's VW alive! On the upside, I reckon that'll polish out! ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicriot13 0 Posted August 14, 2007 Ah mate, that's awful. I'm glad to hear you're alright though. I know what it feels like to write off a car that you love. Did the very same thing last April to my golf. If you've got any questions or get any grief regarding the insurance give me a shout. I work for an insurance company and if I can help in any way I'll do my best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
