:O i struggle to get a bunch of flowers from my bloke! Good buy!

Hi Tara, Mrs Otto was in nasty accident in August...



She was so glad she was surrounded by quality VW German metal and many airbags.   So I was delighted to be able to surprise her with her dream car and give her a bit of a lift :)

Thanks

After last 7 or 8 years of Subaru's and an M3 (http://ottomate.wordpress.com/2009/06/24/bmw-e46-m3-review/), middle-age-dom has now kicked in and I now drive an diesel X5 :)

....Don't worry, when you come out of middle-age-dom like me in my 60's, you'll go back to wilder cars  :evilgrin:

Ouch! What happened - Did she hit a kerb and collapse the suspension? Or was it a glancing blow from another motorist?

Glad she was ok  :smiley:

Old boy came out round parked lorry on his side of road to meet her nearly head on.  She got as far over towards wall as she could and he clipped her front wheel and went along the car.

Thanks

Yeah, good strong cars!  Just got our copy of engineers report for the Passat - quote was just under £8.5K + VAT to repair :-o
