That is impressive.
Good to know, I think.

There isn't that much front end damage tbh. I'm sure engine is intact, and if isn't then that is impressive

Hmm… not sure I'd trust a Lithuanian concrete barrier construction based on this - I know I came off worst again a UK barrier some years ago, but that was head-on at about 55mph
 Either way, the car is a write-off, and based on these pictures, it looks like at least one of the occupants was injured, unfortunately..

A8 vs pole
Hello everyone!
I saw this post here and thought it would be a good idea to add this link: http://www.delfi.ee/news/paevauudise....d?id=66403932 According to police the driver was asleep. The amazing fact is that the driver and the passenger was not injured.They walked around the scene and were probably happy faces that did not get injured and survived. What an amazing car is the A8.

 Yes, I have the A8 4.2 (D3), which is already the second A8 I have owned. I bought it some month ago. The first was a D2. Both are gasoline powered 4,2. In the meantime, I drove the BMW E91 which was also a good car in it's own way, but the longing brought me back to A8. Afortunatelly the car is currently under repair. It was parked on the street when the rear-end was collided by Mercedes. And my car hit a car parked at the front. A bit trouble but might be on the next week the repair is done. Guess what it was the second time, when the Mercedes (E-class) collides to the rear end of my A8. The same happened with the D2. There are some pics: I apologize for the poor quality and hope this link works https://picasaweb.google.com/110376537188652983721/A8 Kind regards Kaido Rinaldo Last edited by rin; 30th March 2014 at 09:02 AM.

Lovely car, hope it's soon restored to its former glory and back with you.
I've just recently bought a D3 after having a D2 for many years, it's quite a step up in many ways though I still love the D2 and how it looks. Do I understand that correctly, the same Mercedes driver hit both of your cars or it was coincidentally a Mercedes on both occasions? Please share some more photos of your car when you get it back, we love photos on here

Yeah, the same here! The way how D2 looks is a bit hypnotic. The proportions of this car is both sporty and majestic. This car has a timeless design and it just looks very good! And I love the new car as well. It's a masterpiece of engineering and design in my opinion. I haven't drive it much yet but I will. Yes, on both occasions a Mercedes hit my car but not the same driver. In the first accident D2 muffler tips perforated Mercedes licence plate and the general condition was even worse than this time. Both times Mercedes was needed towning service. The pics and posts will come! First I need to get the car back.
