      At the end of the day Derek your OK, thats the main thing and you get to see your wife and kids, could have been a different story if a HGV was coming the other way!

      Sorry to see a nice S2 potentially written off.

        Or........

        Don't tell the insurance at all..... As long as no-one wants to claim repair of the wall off you...

        Then either break it for parts to buy yourself a new one.

        Or get stuck in and repair it.....

            But, if you tell them they should give you the money for the repair

              A very sad day for you.

              When I dealt with Admiral they had no idea of the true value of an S2.
              I had to send all the adverts I could find to them.

              They do offer a cash option if it is 'uneconomical to repair' , It wont be classed as a write-off and they'll give you money to repair the vehicle.

                  £850, thats a joke. Use this to sway them:
                  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1996-AUDI-COUP...lenotsupported
                  might not get 10k but will certainly shock them on what these cars are possibly valued at

                    £850 - that has to be an all time record... Even the cheapest street prices to part that thing out would run into best part of £2k - these insurance clowns have no ****ing idea...

                    Wheels & Tyres £200

                    ECU £250
                    Rear lights £50

                      Just so you know, the insurance companies bible of cars (where they get there book prices from) doesnt list the s2 in any way shape or form, so the price they quoted for payout was based on a normal audi coupe not an s2

                            Ok - I ran out of talent eventually.

                            Note to young drivers: quattro is good, but not 'magic'
