cwspellowe: F Y C! I will claim beer even if i have to jog up backwards rolling on a single cyclone making bwarrp and limiter noises the entire way!!
Cully: Tbh i'd rather have ended up in A&E with a broken something than the damage done in the end i feel like I've killed my best mate (sad as that sounds)
Phil:FYC also!Though I will now admit, full circle it is now rather apt. Just wish the bit where it was fixed had been slightly longer, and more specifically slightly drier so I could've properly used it! I didnt even have any time to tinker with rebound rates!! /adenoids
Darren: Cheers for the advice mate, I'll take a close look on the weekend when I start pulling parts off it; I'll bung some photos up and maybe give you a bell for a catch up too; it's been WAY too long!
I'm rather pleased you don't reckon there's significant damage though, a lot of me wants to get it back on the road rather than stripping it for parts.
Poodle: I always maintained I hate driving this in the wet and pottering in it. If i drive it I always wanted to give it the big un all the way. I'd almost rather I'd gone and done it properly, rather than this shitty small impact at low speeds in shit weather. Least I could've come on here and say "yep, I did it properly, it's on it's lid through a hedge and half a mile into the next field"
Fozz:I know it's almost fate; 1st ruan's airbag thread, then Tuesday evening I decided to fix my permanently blinking airbag light (has been blinking since just after last year's mot - June'11!!), and then on Weds at lunch I read the 4page thread on the '6 forum slating the hell out of parada spec2s in the wet, and then to top it off i had a dream last night that I bought my old dt off Phil for £400! I'm not a superstitious person at all (I generally think its a pile of bollocks!) but even I find that a bit wierd!
Atters: I paid for my 1st trackday at Llandow 2 weeks ago! was gonna start in earnest tracking the hell out of it (money only permitted the Llandow one this year really)! I was literally gurning at the thought of being able to properly use it. Fingers crossed Ill be able to get it in some shape to give it a go!
Alee83; Cheers man, somehow dont think this one'll buff out...? Fingers crossed I can get something sorted for FCS one way or another! Why'd you end up getting rid of the astor?! I loved that car, looked so HAWT Did you buy your wallye off Pugplus up a proper steep hill in Wales? (Phoenix fireplaces or somesuch company on his white van?)
I went there to look @ a '6, and if so I think I saw your car actually
AAAND FINALLY!
SRowell, is your 1.4 a ph3? Ie deeper bonnet? Does anyone know if the slam panel will fit mine straight off (assuming i an get it all straightened out 1st (before any of you start!)?
Grant & Jonny: Cheers guys, I'm hoping itll be repairable, and honestly I'd rather have taken some fair injuries than see the car end up like this. call me wierd but thats how I feel. As it is I only got burnt from the airbag and it hit my broken finger which has now swollen back up (think its re-broken it YAAAAY!)
