my mk2 golf gti- back on the road

i came round the corner and there was a truck in my lane and an oncoming car, and i didnt stop in time


it would be an insurance write off but im not fully comp. i think the chassis is ok but need it checked. time for a 20vt i think

Atleast your alright mate

Ahhh I've had a similar situation with an articulated lorry before, the idiot was trying to force his way into a lay-by and was still taking up the road, I wasn't going to stop in time as I was doing 70ish at the time, so I started flashing my lights and stuck my indicator on, fortunately while there wasn't enough time for me to stop the oncoming traffic got the message and stopped to let me round. Scariest moment of my driving career, I've never felt the same helplessness in a situation before.

Glad you're ok though, that's the important part and hope you can resurrect the car.

oh fudging dear

glad your ok mate

Cheers for all the concer is appreciated.

The new dayley until it's gone or I have a new car

The bm was a 318i lux was sweet and really nice to drive but it has now gone to be replaced with a mk2 golf zender edition

I will continue this build thread when I have the cash to buy a donor car to do a 20vt swap but for now for those of you who are interested the build on the zender is Currently here
