Jeez man, so grim and to the same family within less than a week

I have to say this worries me when the wife is driving my car as she may look an easier target than me.

Glad you are ok though.

Nothing more to add. There's zero you could have done differently. Glad to see you're ok and i don't think cars sell heavy end of the year, there's a discount there with your name on it....

Seriously guys. This is where this forum comes in to it own. Cheers for everyone's support. You've all cheered me up no end. Just makes me feel I'm not on my own dealing with my grief.

I think I might order this. A6 loon. 3.0 btdi black edition.

A22ZWU2Y

Before all the diesel haters jump up and down. These things I believe are ballistic and it'll defo get more horses via DMS. Spoke to dealer last week about it and he'll do me £9,500 discount on one.

you and your lad have had some sh#t luck mate and that's all it is, bad luck. you'll more than likely go the rest of your life and never experience that again. still doesn't make it any easier at this moment in time though.

I had some thieving scum try to steal my old 3 door sierra cossy years ago. I chased them down the street in my socks, not a wise decision but I was in my early 20's then. age and the arrival of 2 children has definitely changed my perspective and how I would react if the same was to happen now. It would be exactly as you have done. give them the keys and send them on their way. definitely not worth coming to harm over a car.

Buy the A6 loon and get yourself a nice sierra cossy or escort to play in :bigblink:

seriously though glad you and your lad are ok.

Noooo, not the diesel.

Before I plumped for an RS6, I did toy with the idea of a de-badged S6 that I could then fit with 2.0 "Ultra" badges. The RS6 is hard to miss with the wheels and arches, but I reckon an S6 is the perfect Q car. Maybe that's the way to go. It could easily be brought up to standard RS6 performance, too. And you would get immense pleasure out of traffic light drag races - more so than by squishing people in an RS6, which is obviously going to win.

Nah. No S6 for me.

I'm going back to diesel for the DD and a toy like I had before for the withdrawal symptoms days.

Is there any way to turn the tracker on, there's been a few people that didn't have it enabled but the tracking company has turned it on for the police.

Glad you didn't get hurt, and sad to hear you're going over to devil fuel. Saying that, the R6 powered caterham looks awesome fun!

Gunpoint hijack (that is really serious sh!t) and swift tracker strip out. These people aren't doing it for a joy ride. I am fully expecting to hear it has been used in an armed robbery as a getaway car. Perhaps we will see it on Police Camera Action in a few weeks.

So sorry to hear that fella, but as others have said, at least you're OK (although obviously shaken up) & the car will be replaced.

Sorry to any Merc lovers on here but this courtesy car is some piece of <beep> us Audi lovers are spoilt rotten. I'd forgotten how bad normal cars are like to drive. Awful interior and nasty looking outside. 220d rear wheel drive iPod sticking out of the dash. Pure <beep>.
