Watch An Audi R8 Get Fished Out Of A River After An Embarrassing Crash
The trouble with having a flashy, powerful car - particularly one that’s finished in a conspicuous colour - is that you attract rather a lot of attention if something goes wrong. Just take this as an example: at the weekend, a German driver managed to lose control of his Audi R8 V10 Plus in the Netherlands on Sunday, and now we’re all enjoying this video of his stricken car being pulled out of a river.
Thankfully, after plunging into the river near Loenersloot, the driver was able to escape the vehicle. He wasn’t injured in the accident. After warming up after his chilly dip in the water, he was taken to his hotel in Vinkeveen.
The car wasn’t so lucky. While it doesn’t look to have suffered any obvious exterior damage, being submerged in water for a few hours is almost certainly going to have killed off any chance of an economical repair.

It became Au Fish
Guess you could say…
The driver was doing some fishy work when he crashed….
Ill let myself out
The driver’s dreams of being a professional driver were, well, sunk.
He probably forgot that he was off duty this weekend
the driver was so drunk, he just wanted more.
Money doesn’t buy skills
