Hi everybody, I haven't been around for a while as the 6 hardly ever got taken out but on the 2nd of march it went out for a rare trip and sadly someone pulled out of a side road and T-boned me Sad

I am on my phone so can't upload any photos but those of you on the Facebook page have seen the damage and showed your support.

I am buying abother 6 tomorrow as to keep pretty much standard and drive evening and weekends as I have a van for work (I have found a completely standard example even has the 6 cd changer in the boot and tape player plus no rips in the interior)

Do not worry the Agean will not be sent to the grave as the damage to the rear quarter is only cosmetic so I am going to take the opportunity to turn it into a DIMMA Wink

That's a bloody shame. Love your 6.

Hopefully it's a quick recovery and good luck with the new one.

Think the whole of the pug community saw what happened to your car Sad

I love a dimma so good news as long as it's done properly not one of those cheap eBay jobbies with 4 fog lights in the front bodykit type bumper LOL

Despite what everyone says about Nile it is actually a nice colour with decent wheels tints and a drop they look really good. Personally I'd have gone for black masks to match the wheels but otherwise looks spot on.

And yeh come to pugfest and give it a good thrash up the hill Thumbs up
