Man drives Bugatti Veyron into lake
Most of us, if we were in possession of an extremely expensive super car, would try to look after it. After all, the repair bills would probably exceed a month or two’s pay. Not this bloke, the owner of a Bugatti Veyron who somehow managed to drive the thing into a lake. The man, from Texas in the USA, claimed that he was ‘distracted by a bird’. The low flying Pelican flew by him and prompted him to drop his phone. Because he was trying to find it on the floor of his car, he neglected to notice that he was about to drive into a salt marsh lake.
At no point was he using that phone. Honest, guv.
I have found this youtube video showing the poor Veyron’s last moments… How on earth did they do that?

Dumb ass americans… I absolutely love this. Only a George Bush ’special cowboy’ Texan crashes him £1.7M supercar into a lake right after he’s just bought it! I love it!! Keep counting the stripes on the american flag Hucklberry breath, I’ll count the stars!! Oh yes sir!! Stick with your Oldsmobile in Florida, its so much easier to drive! USA! USA! USA! ‘Thats a Lambo dude’….

I would expect a little more respect for the American people as a whole given that twice we’ve bailed you out from being taken over. Stewart acts like there are no idiot drivers in the UK…I bet even if you eliminate your pop stars (Amy Winehouse) you’ll still have plenty of people who could, and would, do the same.

Hey “stewart”,
I’ve been to Britain many times. Some of the dumbest drivers on earth call Britain home. Not to mention, some of the ugliest people on earth. Perhaps you should stick with your horrible Rover or your wooden Morgan. Now, before you spout off about Jaguar, Aston Martin, Land Rover, Rolls Royce & Bentley, I’ll remind you that Jaguar, Aston and Land Rover are owned by Ford, an American company. Rolls Royce and Bentley are owned by Volkswagen, a German company. So, before you savages call Americans “dumb ass”, I would recommend staring at your ugly, toothless face in the mirror. That is, if you can stand the sight for a long enough period of time. And by the way, I’ve seen the women in that God forsaken country… there’s a real treat! WOOF!

How quickly the limey’s forget the $1m F1 McLaren that Rowan Atkinson totalled not too long ago…hypocrites.

Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button. When was the last US F1 winner?

Rowan Atkinson did destroy an F1, although the price tag was somewhat smaller than you state. I do not remember America ever helping Britain out ‘from being taken over’.
In fact, apart from the Battle of Britain, which was fought by the RAF, there was no invasion assault on Britain and nobody has invaded since 1066.
Of course, there are lots of films where US actors play the part of British soldiers and I understand that this can be confusing.

‘Paul’ is clearly lying, American’s don’t have Passports.

He should drive a Hummer being so unattentive… This would save his life with a greater chance, though put more people aroung in danger ))
