[urq] RE: Possibly 1 less URQ

[Fred Munro]

Glad to hear you are OK, Dennis. My '86 5ktq died the same way with the same
personal effects - stiff and sore for a couple days. It took a 80 kph hit at
a 45 degree angle into the drivers door. The car was written off - it too
was slightly bent and the local body shops said the German steel was so
tough there was no way their frame machines could straighten it out. They
said it would never be the same car. I'm glad your car protected you - it's
sad to lose 'em, but structural integrity is one of the key reasons I drive
an Audi.

Good luck with whatever you choose - replace or repair.

I wanted to thank everyone on these lists!!!
The response was overwhelming. This is truly an extended "family". The warm
wishes etc. were _greatly_ appreciated and helpful. I would like to respond
to
 everyone, but it's just not possible.
I was able to go get a look at the car today, and noticed what looked like
the death sentence for the URQ. Even though the impact was a hard side blow
at
the left front wheel area, the roof has a large wrinkle over the driver
side
door. The car appears to have taken a slight horseshoe bend. She took one
hell-of-a blow and saved me with just some stiff and sore muscles etc.
Insurance hasn't yet had a look at it.
I took a few digital pictures, so if someone has a site I could post them
on, I'll send them over.
Thanks again to everyone!

Dennis
