    All of us at 'you know where' LOL, are very glad your ok Pauly and we are looking forward to seeing the new beast. Post it up over here as soon as possible mate!!

    In response to some of the stupid opinions about this car stepping out, it is quite a common thing as these cars are very light in the rear and coupled with the fact of a 'rear brake pressure-regulating valve' perhaps not being adjusted correctly after lowering or fitting larger diameter rims or malfunctioning, it is completely possible to have happened exactly as Pauly said.
    I own three, yes three GSi's and it has happened to two of them for one of each of the above reasons.So unless you were in the friggin' car sitting on his lap while he was driving and went through the accident with him I suggest you keep your opinions to yourself!!

    ...Glad your ok mate!! :clap:

    ynmakr: thanks for the comment, much appreciated.
    I dont know what happened. As I've said, it came out and thats it. Bang and its over.

    What has happened, has happened. Nothing I can do about it now, but move on.

    I know for a fact that I wasn't speeding, and today if I had the car still, or any other car for that matter, I'd have gone thru exactly the same.

    Some of you make think what you want, and to be honest, I dont care. You weren't there when it happened, so stop assuming shit.

    Thanks to everyone who has posted the well wishes and support. Its greatly appreciated, and tbh its great to see that I run such a great community.

    I'm closing this thread as what has happened is not in the past. I'm feeling ok, and am now moving on with a new car.
