Nelson_R32 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 I can't actually remember much at the moment due to mild concussion but sadly the A4 is a total loss :-( I hit a oak tree on a quiet country lane late last night and I was knocked out for almost 10 minutes until the ambulance turned up. I haven't seen the car yet as the Ambulance crew advised against it but the o/s of the roof is completely caved in to the steering wheel. I should really be dead right now I guess!! luckily my friend escaped unhurt but I am still in hospital due to the concussion, headaches and whiplash. So it looks like I'm spending christmas in hospital this year :-( although on the upside if I was in anything other than the Audi then I probably wouldn't be typing this right now! Take it easy out there this year guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaskat Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Sorry to hear about your pride an joy, and the fact that you are in hospital especially over Christmas, however life is most precious and you still have your's thank god. As for the car well, it has to be said can be replaced, it's depressing to think of all the work that you recently put in on your A4 to make it special.

Milo Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Bloody hell Neil Pleased to hear you're intact even if the car isn't. But bollox to the car mate, it can be replaced and even if it costs you a few quid, what the hell. Take care and I hope you make a speedy recovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kite Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Yikes, hope your up and out of hospital soon. Shame about the car, but as people say it can be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchet Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Crikey!! Good to hear everyone is okay. Don't worry about the car, it probably saved your lives... it certainly sounds like it's served well. Let us know how the old NHS turkey dinner is these days! All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolDave Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Really sorry to hear that Nelson. Like others have said the car can be replaced (and think of all those other retrofits and mods you can do), just so long as you make a full recovery that's what really matters. Sounds like a B7 deserves top marks in the NCAP tests, it certainly did it's best to protect you and your passenger. Get well soon and keep us up-to-date with your progress. I look forward to spending more money with Audi-Accessories in 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best [/ QUOTE ] If it's anything like the Roast Beef I had at lunchtime then I'm off down the local Harvester tomorrow! :d Thanks everyone for all your good wishes, I'm absolutely gutted about the car. I loved the thing to death Unfortunately I don't think my next motor will be another A4.More likely an A3, Ibiza Cupra TDi again or a VW Golf GT however I've already been told off by my Old Dear for asking her to get me a copy of Top Gear from the Hospital shop ops: I've been told I may be able to leave tomorrow evening now So hopefully I'll be able to open all my Christmas Presents Merry christmas and a happy new year everyone. P.s: This hospital has these entertainment screens so you can use TV, Radio and internet etc. However it costs a bomb!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avus_Bub Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Poo the bed II!!!!!!!!!! Neil as said above all the very best to you and your mate. Glad to hear you're only in overnight and the car did it's job! I hope you're back in another Audi ASAP!! BUB PS Take care out there guys, I had a big moment in the A4 last night, it just came out of the blue but I caught it in time. I put it down to Sh**e greasy/wet/salty roads. And a heavy right foot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
