NewNiceMrMe Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 The TT ran into the back/side of the HGV - the driver didn't walk away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRobin Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Nasty! I thought trucks were all fitted with bars to stop cars running under as appears to have happened in this crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pincher Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Sure I heard about this a few weeks ago. IIRC it was just outside the Audi factory and a test driver was going a bit too fast for the conditions (think it may have been the new model as well).

lottiefox Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 No, thats the old model (or shall we say Mark I superb model!) I believe....nasty looking accident. Ouch, but no car would come off very well if it argues with a lorry. It terrifies me in the MX-5 alongside them - don't think they can even see me sometimes I'm so little! However, not long ago there was that guy who was in a TT and survived a huge crash where his car was basically squashed under a lorry - that was in America. All to do with a bit of luck I guess.

RedRobin Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 I'm tempted to suggest you do something 'naughty' in your topless little one which is guaranteed to get a truck driver's notice! My belief is if your number is up it's up, and only then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the clip: http://www.audivideos.com/Videos/Media-Videos/Med-Crash_Audi_TT_Incredible_Survival.mov Apparently this guy works as a salesman at Audi America.
