Apparently the car is a write off, damage doesn't look to serious to the casual eye. Probably flood damage then.



Story; A 33 year old customer took this R8 for a testdrive and managed to get both wheels into a ditch on a rural road. After he overreacted the car and occupants ended up with a wet suit. According to some witnesses the car was travelling at over 120 mph, the driver and salesman both insist they were only doing about 70. FYI local speed limit was 50 mph.

 

Ouch!

 

Damn, yeah water damage alone will total the car... Looks like someone took the sideblade as a souvenier, unless it's in the car somewhere in the car.

Doesn't look like a 120mph loss of control at all, though.

 

WHoops...

 

 

That's a great FAIL from the test driver:



He must really have lost control to be able to skid across a river, the road looks to be in pretty nice shape.

 

So were the sideblades really stolen, or did they pop off when it hit the water and sink to the bottom?

 

So it just skipped like a stone across the water? Just like the start of the movie Speedzone...

 

OMFG hahahahahahaa, glad they are okay but that is too funny, skipped right across the river!

 

That sucks.

That is what I was thinking. Looks like he was trying to pull a SpeeZone lake skip.
