Then he did an out of control 3 point turn and pursued me on both sides of the road, pulled in front with a predictable brake check and slammed his ute into reverse at full throttle. I cruised by and pulled over, i couldnt "run" anyway because i had less than 1/16th of a tank which was causing fuel starvation. Whoever it was didnt even have the balls to wind down their limo tint windows, just drove off like a coward.

Pleaded guilty in 2021 to be sentenced but can’t find info about eventual outcome/ sentence?

Try to Drive Normal as a Criminal Challenge Level: IMPOSSIBLE

[@godwindracing6056]

This driver reminds me of the 70% of those you meet on a public server in Assetto Corsa and he drives worse than them

I was one of the first in the UK to take delivery of an R8 V8 when first released in 2007 - jet blue metallic with silver side blades. Fantastic car but definitely needed a V10! I kept it 4 years. Notice yours is the V8 - can tell from engine sound and rear camera. They should send Ray Shoesmith Mr Inbetween himself to sort out this guy and his chav looser friends. I never knew about any race mode on the R8 is it some special engine mapping from 3rd party vendor that you used? Also can I ask what dashcam system you were using at the time? thanks.

[@wombat6270]

Surely a car that expensive would have had a tracker connected to the dash cam.

00:00 Dodging a RBT (Random Breath Test) stop just to steal an R8... probably not one of the smartest moves this guy has ever pulled off. He's gonna hit a dead end soon. 00:27 One of many. 01:45 and another. 04:35 To be fair there wasn't much indication or warning that there was a speedbump ahead. 04:55 Not stopping at the stop street and then driving as fast as he did in a circle - he was at risk of crashing into himself. I did appreciate that he uses his turn signal though. 13:12 ouch! (as he hits kerb) - that's not gonna buff out. 16:53 classic comment as he redlines it high in first gear. 17:56 He forgets to put it into 4x4 mode. 23:09 OI! Mate. I think there's something wrong.... that doesn't quite sound right. There's a reason they make those wheel-thingies all face in the same direction. 24:06 Those gates aren't open wide enough for the car *and* the paint job to fit through. 24:59 The good news is, he won't need to hire a plough this season.

Shows how fast and grippy these cars are, cornering was just amazing.

[@alasdair4161]

Even with his hopeless totally out of sync steering and brake inputs, the car still got him off the hook, over and over.

[@user-fh1rz1uq6c]

I drive a 15 year old scrapper, but traumatic for anyone to see your pride and joy abused like this.

[@tankthelord1178]

I bet the owner was in heaven thinking someone had ragged his pride and joy about.

[@cameronmcdonallcamdog8233]

This dudes wrecked the car driving it way too hard he’s pretty much f….d it

[@Psalm7326]

He wasnt driving it too hard he just can't drive

[@markspin4596]

How this deadbeat thinks he's going to get away with this is beyond me...

[@aberamagold7509]

The guy was having so much fun he pissed himself 😂😂

Good to see all those social security recipients putting their time to good use

[@mjjjj_8780]

Guaranteed every single one is on centerlink and the guy with the r8 along with the rest of us is paying them to stay at home, get high and then go out stealing...

[@scorps-hl8ue]

So why you speeding now for when there's no tail???

[@user-mp9rd4hg8b]

Funny how he's desperately going from person to person, to get them to join him, because he doesn't want to be alone in his crimes.

“Drive it like you stole it!”

[@ncarrahar]

This actual video is the reason I bought a BlackVue Dashcam - the exact model that recorded this. It’s so good bought two more

[@jboi9309]

Don't any of these tools know that these high end cars have trackers on them?? And can easily be located by police??

[@tomchekotevski9105]

No way m8, he probably started belting up his arm at 14 , 15 left school and ever since waiting on his doll every time drooling at the front door of centrelink. Jimmy the junkie m8 eshay braaah. The sad part is poor bloke had to watch his car go through that last drive to the wreckers 4life. Back in the 80s my HQ Statesman would be waiting for me anywhere I parked it, because the rotor button went in my pocket pub, club, disco, bar anywhere rotor from the dizzy in pocket m8. That was the best alarm back in the day and the club lock was for road rage not for the steering wheel.

[@peter3994]

Hopefully he is one oxygen thief that is no longer steady O2!

[@rogerb5615]

Frickin' maroon. If you're gonna steal beautiful, exoticand expensive machinery, at least have the sense to treat it with respect. This jagoff should stick to hotwiring Ladas.
