Good thing I wasn't driving a Scirocco today...
Good to hear no one got hurt.
I say it was the girl's fault. ;-)
Audis do accelerate quite fast on slick pavement, but to stop them is
another story... They also do bite if you lift your foot off the gas pedal
when they drift. Try it out in a parking lot.
And to dent an Audi is almost as bad as denting a Scirocco IMHO.
Where to buy body panels cheap in Canada?
I did dent my A4 hood as well a few weeks ago. Some moron decided to do en
extra stop, and I rear ended the loser. It wasn't my fault either ;-)
Cheers.
