Default Finally, it's back.

After nearly 2 months of waiting I finally got my A4 back from the crash repairer.

It's almost like having a new car again. It still smells new (amazing what 2 months apart does for you) and still drives as well as before. In fact, they did a wheel alignment, and it actually drives better than before.

After driving an AU III Fairmont Ghia (the HMAS Fairmont, as I dubbed it, based on its boat-like handling) for the last few weeks, the A4 is like chalk and cheese. I now remember why I bought an Audi.

I haven't been over the car with a fine tooth comb, but so far it seems a pretty impressive job. A couple of coworkers (fastidious car owners with heaps of experience with repair work) found a couple of things, but nothing that the average person would ever see.

I'll update the forum after I've been over the car a little closer.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/oz/msgs/1419.phtml">Ouch</a></li></ul>

Default Congratulations...

But as when mine was rear ended. No matter how good the repair job is, the car is never the same

Default Good to hear

Glad to know you're back on the road.

Your experience with the Fairmont reminds me of a riddle:
What happens when you turn the steering wheel of a Falcon 20 degrees? ...
Nothing!
