Conveniently there was a big, square concrete drain culvert built into the curb to bounce over!
It was badly lit, there was no give way sign and the dead end sign at the t-junction had been nicked from its posts!! Intersection just came from nowhere.
Amazingly and testament to the build quality of our beloved VW's nothing actually broke off the car and it was still running with both headlights ablaze when it came to rest!
BUT.. the passenger front wheel ended up bent back up under the the front door hinge, which in turn has pushed the whole A pillar upwards causing the windscreen to fracture and it has also pushed and slightly buckled the roofline up, so it looks terminal i'm afraid!
All this just three days after finally getting the S3 donor car
So the shannons guy will check it over and most likely write it off in the next coupla days.
Anyone out there selling a 5 door mk2?
oh no! let us know how that turns out... so you had comp insurance on the car then?

dont worry though, 5dr mk2's are for sale nearly constantly so you'll be able to find one especially if you get a nice insurance payout lump.
