After driving over a ladder on the motorway at 70 mph I've had a long struggle with the Insurance company/Assesor and garage(s) to get my car sorted - the work started on the 5th May and I'm going to collect it today!
First off all the suspension bars/ball joints/bushes were replaced at a cost of £1700 odd quid, next came several goes at alignment which did not cure the pulling to the left, after chasing and chasing up insurerers/assesors and garages and getting the car trf'd from an Audi approved coachworks to an actual Audi garage I have this week had the alignment set-up properly (still not correcting fault) and now a full set of Pirelli P-zero nero Rossi's put on the car which i've been told have sorted out the remaining issues - I really hope it drives straight when I collect it later today !!
On top of the above works I had the front arb/droplinks replaced at the same time and the front bumper was resprayed so I am really looking forward to having a good drive of the anticipated 'tight' car - after almost 3 months !!!
Seeing as the weather is better now I'll be trying to arrange/suggest another local meet in the Epsom area, also planning a Thursday - Monday jaunt over to the Alps with a mate to check out some of the roads and swing back via the Nurburging on the way - good times !
