Tears :( - ADZ - 11-01-2013 10:15am
My poor baby was rear-ended on Wednesday after the brakes of a BMW failed
I've been without my Evoque for almost 2 days now and don't know when I'll see him again. Welcome to my pity party.![[Image: IMG_2112_zps6fdb39e6.jpg]](http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q570/ADZevoQ/IMG_2112_zps6fdb39e6.jpg)

Thanks Ali

Sorry to hear your bad news, I hope you are OK.
What speed did the BMW hit you at? The pictures show the towing eye hasn't been bent, which is a good sign that the chassis is untouched. Let's hope you only need a rear bumper,tailgate & the rear wings repaired.

My kids and I are good thanks. I was doing about 40 km/h and the BMW a bit faster than me I imagine. She rear-ended another car before mine which spun off the road. The occupants were injured and needed an ambulance
Kudos to the Evoque for keeping us safe I suppose. I do so hope you're right with your assessment. The Landy people have indicated that the parts are available in SA so I shouldn't have to wait too long, insurance company dependent. ARGGGHHHHH!!!!

sorry to hear that and glad you're ok! Hope your insurance sort it out quickly

Thanks WB! Resorting to taxis and public transport is quite a bit of a let-down compared to being cosseted by my Evoque.

Bugger mate...!

Bugger to the power of freaking infinity!

You have my sympathies and I hope it gets fixed quickly.
I should have mine back Monday with any luck - its been three weeks and about £4,000!
