    Test drive going wrong. (update)

    A 33 year old Man from the town "Woerden" have crashed an Audi R8 during a test
    drive.
    He made Saturday afternoon a test drive with a brand-new Audi R8 that not end
    very well.
    He made a drivers mistake and the R8 end as a result of it in a ditch.
    The car is for certain a total loose, the driver and passenger remained unhurt.
    The R8 stands at us in "Bodegraven" and is probably no longer repairable say
    director Westdijk of Van Beynum car repair Ltd.
    He values the total damage on ± 200.000,- Euro's.
    On the road "Milandweg" in the village "Woerdense verlaat" where 80 Km/h have
    been permitted, but according to the neighbouring people the R8 drove a lot
    faster then 80 Km/h.
    Rumours say 200 km/h would be closer to the truth.
    According to the police, the driver and driver's mate have however explained
    that they drove approximately 130 kilometres per hour...

    Have you seen how bumpy that road is! Even 80km seems a lot on that kind of road.

    My bet his that the driver simply jumped on one of those bumps and lost control. You can also see that one of the wheel got of the road a bit.

    It should have skipped right across the water as the bottom of the car's quite smooth!

    I need those front rims....

    I just went back to the top post and re-read it: "A 33 year old Man from the town "Woerden" have crashed an Audi R8 during a test drive."

    AHA!!! That tells the entires story right there.

    There is no such thing as a 33 year old man - we're all BOYS until we're at miniumum 35.

    I waited until I was 40 and had my body start to inform me that I'd grown up - damn. I have to quit breaking bones... I don't bounce off the ground like I used to and I'm not going to give up motocross.
