    My Polo is dead

    Written off, t boned at 60km, have fractured my transverse process in my spine
    but i tell you what, if i didnt have that safe little polo i may not be typing atm.
    im only new here but thought id tell my story, makes u realise how fragile you can be

    im also on the lookout for another Polo, preferably something with a PCD of 5x100 as i have wheels waiting to go on and i went to a huge amount of trouble to get them.

    Sorry to hear about your loss mate. It's quite reassuring to know that the car provided adequate protection. I've seen a written off polo like ours, the thing was practically a jumping castle inside with all of those airbags!
    Care to spill the dirt on these wheels you've procured?

    Happy to hear you're still here to tell your story!

    I imagine it wont be too hard to find another one. Maybe put a wanted to buy in the classifieds.

    You could even find a nice second hand GTI... they're 5 * 100


    Cheers,

    -Phil.

    Does this mean there's going to be a part out?

    In all seriousness hope you're okay though!

    Wow dude, glad to hear you're OK (well, broken spine and written off car aside).

    What are you after? Stock, modded, etc?

    Speedy recovery.

    Oh crap, dude. That's horrible news! Really hope your spine heals properly. Who cares about the car when it's your life involved!

    Hopefully, you had it insured well above market value, though.

    Bad news mate. Hope you get well soon. 9N3 GTI's are getting cheap these days so you should be able to find a good one at a good price. Get well soon

    Great to hear that the Polo took care of you to it's premature end and all the best with the recovery

    Will you get a 6R, a 9N3 GTi or another Pacific? A Pacific diesel is yet another great option.
    You never did say what wheels you ended up getting...

    Hi guys, well id love a GTI polo but currently on my P's and the forms are annoying. and also i only have a automatic license atm so im down to looking for autos ( manuals impress high school girls but autos win races ). I would like another pacific 9N as i think they look great and my price range is around 15k.
    sorry forgot to tell you aslo, my wheels i got which are currently in a warehouse in alexandria are Wolfrace Messina's, 17" you guys should check them out as they are sick and they import them into sydney as they have an office here too.

    So yeah i would love another polo, but i need a PCD of 5x100 otherwise its really just a waste of money.. plus i love the wheels
