Well done for "taking it on the chin" buddy.Shagga wrote:Brilliant, fine comments
I just want similar performance, newer for around the same budget.I hit the tree between 35 & 40mph and Quattro was zero help building up the collision.
IF (big if) I go to the dark side I'm pretty sure I'll be back with another Audi in the future.
Can you believe that the main reason I have been so against publishing my thoughts is cos of you lot.....my forum buddies! Knew I'd get a ribbing but a change is as good as a rest. If the right RS comes along I'll jump at it, if not I have no choice but to look at other marques.
(You'll be doing more than that if you go for the M3 though*)
Difficult call, that I'm sure we all understand. Not many alternatives (realistically priced), are there.

Ha ha,
A few phone pics which don't show the massive crease in the floor and roof. Amazing what a tree can do at that speed.

Ouch !
Good job you walked away from that unscathed.

Re: B7 RS4 to E92 M3
Trees are one of the worst things you can hit. Then can be relatively thin but (as you can see) have no give what so ever.

Re: B7 RS4 to E92 M3
It's horrible and brings a tear to my eye every time I look at it. It also makes me thankful for being unhurt and for being in such a well built car. I didn't take any pictures of the interior as it was a wreck but if someone had have been in that passenger seat they would still be in hospital now. Apparently only the boot itself was the only undamaged panel and the pictures don't show how 'bent' the car was. Recovery company said (before two sets of golf clubs disappeared from the boot) that when they were called to a head on with a tree they were expecting me to be getting cut out of the car.
Very VERY lucky I'm from Harefield.
You'll may understand why I'm struggling to get into another RS.

Fair one Shane, do what you got to do. I personally like the C63 they do have good road presence.
Enjoy the M3

Re: B7 RS4 to E92 M3
Trees or lamp posts are pretty bad for the RS4. Wonder if it is only daytona grey that gets mangled ? 3 years ago next month I aquaplaned. Doesn't matter what you drive (4WD) in the wet its a different story.
Re: B7 RS4 to E92 M3
I do remember this. Is it Laura??
If I recall you weren't so lucky to walk away unscathed (hope I'm wrong).
Agreed though, I think it would have happened under those circumstances regardless of car.
Tank would be a safe option I think.
