    gazzag60-the end of the s2

    Guys, ive spoken to a couple of you but not really said a lot for a bit. the reason for this is the s2 is no more.

    back in nov last year i was turning right when a golf, speeding so much i didn't see it at all hit me in the dirvers door/ pillar/front wing. the car was pushed sideways about 30 yards and i smashed the drivers door window with my head. i was thrown around the car but was lucky to only recieve the head injurues and 3 scrathes on my thumb.

    the guys in the golf tried to run off. it doesn't happen near me shall we say and a local farmer with dogs brought them back.

    let me just say police are a joke. may as well lay them off like they plan. no calls, no visit nothing in all this time. the car i believe was stolen maybe ..... sure you get the picture.

    car damage. door, window,wing,wheel..oh yeh nearly forgot. body pushed across 2 inches, all front engine mounts split in 2 all mount brackets sheard in half. mounts not even in position 2 inch out. front window gone. dash moved. seat ajusters bent into drovers seat but no farer. the car took a massive shock. 1 bent shocker, bent driveshaft. even a slight crease on the fuel tank cover visible. presuem the shock did this. the passenger wing stuck out passed the door edge but 1.5 inch. there was no impact on that side.

    luckily engine box etc works fine. it was still running for a few minutes after the impact. intercooler and rad were perfect still. i had no oil cooler on at time. piped out. no turbo or manifold damage. the downpipe got crushed flat bout halfway down.

    getting the bits out was a pain. the dash had been squashed slightly. bout 5mm enough for clocks to be stuck. eventually freed it and dah may be fine for future use.

    luckily no carbon/door panel etc got damaged. all carbon all black leather black roof. moon roof vario setup.

    i was off work for over 1 month. thinking was an issue for a few weeks. shortly after i was made redundant too. then my beemer was hit by another uninsured driver. the saga continues.

    i still visit here from time to time. when i get a job again ill be rejoining the fold but not in a s2. ill be getting my bum felt buying an ur i reckon.

    i got loads of s2 parts. some only 3 of lol such as shocker legs. i took all the bits i could. let me know if you need stuff.

    im gonna post in the sale section my 6 pots and 2 piece disks and brackets soon. i also got the rear gt2 calipers for the rs2 boys.

    hope this helps explain my absense.

    hope this

        That really sucks! Did you have much hassle getting a decent insurance payout?

            That's such a shame and can understand your absence. The main thing is you are ok.

            Best of luck,

            Darren.

              OMG, what a pain. At least you're OK, but still a right royal pain with the car, and then the Beemer.

              Best wishes with getting your karma back, which it will.

              Golf occupants = scum.

              Best wishes.

                    Sounds like a pretty rough run you've had there; I hope things are on the up and you're healthy after recovering from the smash. I'm sure that the dream of a UR will keep you focussed on where you want to go

                      dude, that is bad.....as mentioned before at least your about to tell the tale without too much personal injury....

                      I hope your recovery is swift, your job hunt comes up with something quickly and you get that UR....

                        Good luck with the ur quattro hunt, ever thought about a type 85 saloon with ur quattro arch's, lighter than a ur and easier to find.

                          This is such sad news, first of all I am glad that you exited the car alive and are here to tell the tale, but secondly I am saddened and angered that lowlife scum can do this and the police have had so little time for you. Very best wishes for the future, Gazza, and keep us informed of future projects as and when!

                            I feel for ya. A nightmare. You must be absolutely gutted. I had an s2 written off by an uninsured driver some years back and the police are utterly useless. They want you to do all the leg work. After that i lost all faith in our police service.
                            Good luck with the ur!!
