Audi R8 test drive ends crashing in a river

The 33-year-old Dutch man from the town of Woerden in the Netherlands went by his local Audi dealership to check out a brand spankin' new R8 supercar... and then proceeded to drive it into the nearest river. The driver was reportedly speeding – 80 mph according to police, but closer to 125 if you ask some of the bystanders – in a 50 zone when he hit a bump, lost control and skidded into a dyke. Although local law enforcement authorities are reportedly investigating the incident, nobody was hurt. The same cannot be said, sadly, for the car, which is reportedly in a repair shop where the dealer's insurance company will surely declare it a write-off. tires (http://www.discountpartcenter.com/) wheels (http://www.discountpartcenter.com/wheels/allwheels.htm) brakes (http://www.discountpartcenter.com/brakes/brakes.htm) suspension (http://www.discountpartcenter.com/suspension/suspension.htm) car tires (http://www.discountpartcenter.com/tire/alltires.htm) motorcycle (http://www.dpccars.com/motorcycle/motorcycle-video-gallery.htm) sports cars (http://www.dpccars.com/) car videos (http://www.dpccars.com/car-movies/car-movie-gallery.htm) RC cars (http://www.dpccars.com/rcvideos/rc-car-plane-videos.htm) new car (http://www.dpccars.com/photos/spyphotos.htm) automotive tires (http://www.dpccars.com/tires/tires.htm)
