Having spent 3-4 weeks looking for our R, and collecting it just 3 days ago from the seller. My wife was out in it today taking the dog, for a walk, when a driver failed to stop at a crossroads.

Luckily everyone was relatively unhurt, (including the dog) just a few bruises etc. Having only driven it once, I think it will be a while before we have it back. Although as it may have a CAT S or N against it I am not sure if we even want to take it back

That’s a real shame I feel your pain, glad your wife and dog are ok. You will have to see what the insurance company want to do, before making a decision.

Dam thats bad luck Howard but good no one was hurt. Hope they write the car off mate.

Damage like that can be difficult to assess without stripping, and often is more than it looks, the car as a whole will have suffered a big shock load.

Sorry to see that, glad everyone (including the dog!) was ok though!

Ouch - sorry to hear that Howard; but pleased that everyone was OK.

Mate that sucks. Glad everyone’s OK

Well the car went to Oxford, and is now in Guildford at VW bodyshop, as I wanted to go with a VW shop rather than the insurers, preferred ‘partner’. Just awaiting their assessment. Our courtesy car arrives tomorrow in the form of a SEAT CUPRA, so that will please the misses.
