Scratched my RS2

[K Simmonds]

Car now totally stripped, every useful component removed, took a bit longer than normal to get the job done due to extent of the damage, I've dealt with a few crashed Audi S2's etc and this one proved to be by far the most difficult to salvage parts from. The rear subframe has a kink in the centre, both nearside tie rods are like banana's and the shell itself is twisted in a most unusual way. One bonus, and something I've not seen before is the sheering of all but one of the near-side ball joint studs which fortunately means the forged wishbone survived.

Though an RS2 has sadly met it's demise Charlie and Holly are both fine, which is the most important thing, the car did a good job of protecting them.

I took a good whack on the head while undoing the rear suspension, my own fault for being a little gun-ho, still it's just a nasty bump and a bit of a sore neck.

Really sorry to see this. But glad you are OK. That's the main thing.

Best wishes.

Hope that's a 32GB card - small detail - but that's like getting horsepower and mousepower mixed up ;-)

[cardcrash]

£149.95 from amazon but then 32GB SD card is £8.19 and the hardwire kit is £10.95

a total of £169.09, arriving tomorrow I think.

[newsh]

What price have you got? £161 at Halfords

[cardcrash]

Yes well, wear your seat belts, I've said it before and I'll say it again, it saved my life for sure.

Though I'm wondering if the airbag was the car being angry at being knocked about and punching me in the face out of spite as if it was my fault. There's no arguing with it now...

I'm about to order the 512G it's in my Amazon basket, just need to click the scary 'buy' button.

lol, nice (if that is the right term) signature pic cardcrash!! Such a shame.

[Sonic]

Christ. Never nice to see a car in that condition, let alone an S2/RS2! Glad you and the dog are all ok though mate

[cardcrash]

Holly is not looking to pleased in the picture or is she just tired from a hard days work.

Holly had a lovely day yesterday, if she wasn't sunbathing she was picking up apples, sprinting around in circles and then throwing them around as if to animate them in some way, before taking them on more laps of the garden.

And for whatever reason she always goes a little extra bonkers when Kit's around

[K Simmonds]

You and Kit have certainly cracked on stripping the car, remind me never to leave my car anywhere near you 2

Good luck with everything Charlie

If the shell wasn't so bent I'd we'd have gotten even further, just got the running gear to drop off which is only a few bolts and brake lines, that'll have to wait for the week end.

Charlie has a garage full of useful spares, but it needs to be sorted into what he needs for his other cars, wants to keep, and spares to be sold.

I'm going to have my work cut out straightening those Recaros.
