Goodbye rs4 crash! Still here :)

Glad to hear you made it out reasonably unscathed. Just shows how they protect you when it is needed the most. I aquaplaned on 1-2" water on a dual carriageway in 2009 and hit a steel lamppost. As soon as I was fit to drive I went searching for another one. Give it some time then consider your options. If you were in a different car the end result may have been different.

Daytona saloon per chance? That looked horrific, I'm very sorry you weren't so fortunate injury wise. Audis are incredibly strong cars, if yourself, Dazie or the chap I mentioned had been in lesser cars, I'm sure you may not have been so lucky.

Bittersweet - very glad for you that you walked away unscathed apart from maybe your skiddies.....

I'm sure you saw Dazies second pic on page 2! Ouch

Bloody hell - I'm so sorry - I didn't notice that this had been added.

Having said that - a colleague of mine in Bavaria had a very similar accident in a Nissan, skidding on ice/snow and rolling down a hill.
He spent 6 weeks in a drug induced coma in Munich, and in fact his wife was advised that they should consider switching off the life support machine.
Being a superfit triathlete, somehow or other he survived, but with little quality of life, he now lives in a home, and can do little/nothing for himself.

...Think I might skip the GTR then

Yes. That's me that wanted to see if I preferred the Cabrio instead. Turned out the avant was better

Remember this and your amazing attitude to it all given what you went through

Sorry but F@tBoyF@t didn't make the quote attributed to him above.

Probably the product of poor editing of quotes?

Hi guys , bruising coming out in neck and back now, so a bit stiff, head heeling up nicely but not a pretty site really but some would say no change there, a bit emotional and tearful
in all honesty about how close to the end I came , really makes you think about stuff, I love cars , always have but not necessary to have a supercar for thrills that could end it all, love the rs4, it saved my life but will buy a normal car from now on, I'm 44 , 2 kids , a great girlfriend and a stupid boy racer trait that I can't seem to grow out of so gotta go for a normal car , hope u all enjoy your cars and use them sensibly, right place and right times but I'm now done and want to grow old , again , many many thanks for all your concern and kind comments and I hope my post will make a few slow down and choose to drive fast in the right places within their limits. Dazie

[sonny]

...but normal cars can be dangerous too.

[dazie00]

Yes sonny , ur right but for me , if I have a fast car I want to use it to justify having it , each to their own , I have driven all my cars to fast in honesty , very shaken up after this accident and made me have a damn good look at myself , I Know u track race cars so are a better driver than me . Just want all u guys to enjoy your rs4 s safely .

Nah its gotta be a A4 2.0 TDi quattro. Audi UK and the dealers seem to have registered a few more (dealer demos etc) in the last 12 months or so, possibly with the facelift, hence there are more of them around, hence prices have come down a bit lately too. Tech pack (Nav & Xenons) B&O, 6CD, *NO* 19s, that's all I'd want/need - oh and the most important option - AVANT!
