Audi RS5 getting its kit off in the floods

[bigcheez2k3]

disposing of it will be a problem, as you need a licence or something now, to weigh stuff in at some scrap metal yards. due to things that have been stolen and weighed in by pikes and chavs.

In theory yes, in reality sadly no - hence my comment of a bent scrap metal dealer as there are still unquestionably plenty of them about. I mean, you've only got to look at the sheer amount of copper, lead etc that is still being stolen week in, week out to realise that it's being sold quite easily despite the new rules.

Torch it ??? whats left to torch??? lol

I meant if it was the owner and all they wanted was to ensure that the car was replaced / paid out and not dried out and "repaired" then they would have torched the car when it was still complete. No one would have questioned that it would have been vandals had an abandoned and previously vandalised car caught fire in the dead of night.

That has quite obviously been cut up to repair another RS5, That rear quarter has been cut out for another car, you can tell how well its been cut down the sill and over the inner arch. So find who has stoved in the rear quarter / the current owner of that car (bound to be an insurance claim & most likley local) and boom you know who did it!! not rocket science !!

Best guess would be repairing an insurance write off RS5 from somewhere that sells off cars for the insurance companies. Certainly that would make sense, as many of those cars are sold at prices that it makes no sense at all to repair them legitimately nor any sense breaking them for parts. This being the case the parts could have gone anywhere, even overseas.

I can't see many people that own a nearly new RS5 not having it insured fully comp!

From what I hear, some with these types of expensive cars don't bother with insurance at all as if they are above the law
