Sucks to hear man. Hope some kind of good news comes your way in return of the bad news!

Yup... but payout was decent so that is ok. Actually payout was about what I paid for the car including importing fee's... so could be worse. Just sucks cause its damn near impossible to find an A3 with a 3.2

No :( that sucks man, hopefully you get a good replacement for it.

Damn, that sucks. Know how much you liked her...


Sent from my perch on Mount Olympus

Damn, sorry to hear that

Thanks guys, yea it sucks... Asked about buy back, so will see what that comes up with even if I have to store it at my dads place for awhile or something.

I have a few options for replacement I am going to consider, but for now going to drive our old green monster - 1996 Ram 2500 Cummins with 850k on it. haha

Well with all this hustle and bustle I completely forgot about the pictures I took not to long before the imminent demise of my car.

Morning started off with dropping the girlfriend off at school, then hitting the road to an awesome sunrise!





The new bridge in Vancouvers bay is pretty awesome, wish I got better pictures of it.



And of course before I got to far... FUEL



Back on the road.



Roads were all open! So that was a bonus. Since I never really check the passes for conditions.



And managed one last stop before the break down. At least it was a pretty spot! And got some good pictures.











Enjoy!!

Should hear today or tomorrow the fate of the car. At in that point in time, drinks may be called for! haha

Fair call. I know its a golf, but this is one from back home for some inspiration: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tw0r/6193559920/

Unnfff that would be amazing. Wonder how hard it would be to convince a dealership to put a 3.6 in.. :/

Would love to, but its currently at a dealer... 1200km away so that might be hard to swing.

If it was here, possibly. But I don't have the time or space to keep the car not to mention its my daily... 3.6 would be awesome.

2.5T to make it an RS3 underneath would be even more amazing - but that would be a nightmare.

Well I'm in Vancouver and in my building the monthly parking fee for a stall is $25. So in case of write-off, if you want to park it here for a few months, that would be possible while you figure out what to do.

Cool thanks for the offer man! I got a few friends there as well as my girlfriend. Also had a few buddies with truck and trailers offer to help me go pick it up and haul it back. We shall see what happens. If it's a write off its gotta be a pretty awesome deal on the buy back to do it me thinks.

If you get the option of repair....shoehorn the 3.6 VR6 from the R36/A6!
