Holy Hell!!!
Good to see you're still alive. This makes me a little nervous about everyday driving with the amount of idiots I see on the Coast.
It makes me feel alright that I have a mk4 though, it seems they are pretty well built.
I hope your recovery is quick and hopefully painless mate.
Well done on surviving that, Andy. Hope your insurance pays out quickly so you can put it all behind you.

Well done Andy with getting away with such a shocking impact mate.
It takes a long while to enter intersections confidently after things like that happen. I had it happen many years ago in a Mk1.
Good luck for a speedy recovery mate...
Andrew :)
ps. We had a Patrol run a light yesterday arvo near work and got an old HR ute fair in the door. I wouldnt like to hit my head on an alloy bullbar....
**** me drunk! (and excuse the french, but I think it's warranted here!)
You did well to get out of that one alive - I can but echo the comments about good german engineering and shudder at the thought of something like that happening in a lesser car (my old Suzuki Baleno for instance)...
Looks like the other car hit the right side in front of the driver's door? Very lucky that you weren't a split-second ahead or the other driver a split-second behind...
best wishes for a speedy recovery...
just wondering if your gonna stick with another mk 4 or moving up to mk 5 or 6...
Very lucky indeed! There's no doubt in my mind I would have died if I was hit in my drivers side door. The crash investigator told me most people don't survive a collision like that at that speed.Quote:

I like to mountain bike and snowboard and I want to be able to continue doing so as soon as possible. Although, I would definitely drive a Golf again, MK 4, 5, or 6. I know one thing for sure, my next car will have airbags!Quote:

Holy s*** Andy, those are some scary looking photos mate!! :eek: So glad to hear you made it out in one relatively-undamaged piece!!
Thank christ for German engineering!! I thought it was a multi car accident too at first, then realised they'd been taken at the yard later on.
Good luck for a speedy recovery champ :D
glad your alright mate. :)
that will rub out dw.
