@@gcm747 i nearly got hit head on by some flog in a newish vw amarok that mustve been going 140+ literally not just on my side of the road, his driver's side wheels were in the gutter... in a 50kmh area two weeks ago. 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. Will be interesting to see what this person has to say when i park up next to him at his workplace in the morning. 😂 Some people just dont think before they act.
Its the stability control not the traction control that keeps him on the road. TC just keeps him from spinning his tires which he probably wouldnt with AWD anyway. My car is faster than that (unless the R8 is tuned) and rarely breaks loose! But yeah he's a terrible driver
of course it can be the same but few shops will be patient and slow in repairs. They equate time with money so the faster the better. Ask me how I know! My car is in the shopps right now getting "fixed"
@@jamesmedina2062I wouldn't want it knowing it's history, however well it was repaired. At the end of the day it's a repaired car. I prefer as left the factory. Plus it's had a POS inside it.
@@johnmills7716 It is a very long continuum. If it becomes very excellent so be it. If it does not then someone else will still love it. We are all different. The problem with brand new is that this car is screaming to be hit with a shopping cart. I hate that! But I really abhor anyone touching my car and I can tell you the 2nd car before the one I have now was stolen for 5 days and in that time they put 5000 km of drug-running on it. That poor engine did suffer the abuse plus they did not top up the oil at all! So like I was saying...a few miles in lesser hands not going to kill a car. But a few thousand could break its spirit!
This is Newcastle. A smaller city outside of Sydney with probably less than a 10th of the population, and much less crime, and much much less police. Definitely not unheard of to not see cops for 25 minutes.
What’s the bet he got precisely zero jail time despite committing hundreds of traffic offences and jeopardising lives not to mention theft and wilful destruction of property.
Thief Darren Johns: He was pulled over by a RBT. He ditched his car & ran into a house: He grabbed the key to an Audi R8 $300k AWD supercar & proceeded to wreak his Meth/Ice filled mayhem through the suburban streets of Newcastle-Australia circa October 2020
Talks like an absolute drongo for a minute, showing off his 4 braincells, before coming out of nowhere with "Alright, I must prosper a little bit more" ..Fuck I'm dying XD
This is a testament to the engineering behind the handling and stability of the R8, considering this guys lack of driving skills and it stayed on the tarmac…
You didn't get from the excessive passive aggressive notes on this footage that the owner is as narcissistic and dimwitted as the thief? What a stupid thing to do in return to someone who helped you...
Got Meth? Far out, this is insane for so many reasons. First one for me though was the fact that he got away from the Police, so driving like that where he did was totally unnecessary.
European cars have the indicator stalk on the left side of the steering column. Japanese cars have the indicator stalk on the right side of the steering column.
So you dobbed in which house the people who helped you find the car were from when they live 100 metres from where he stopped? You think thats smart or safe?
Maybe searching for the car? Do you really think they are just going to appear out of nowhere despite the car disappearing and thus not really knowing where it is? They do not (probably) have 50 police cars ready to chase one guy. They also may not have permission to chase the car due to increased danger to other people while in the middle of the chase.
@@sedidandanazu535thats a great point, I dont even want to imagine what this guy wouldve attempted if he was receiving active pressure from a chasing party. Bro was doing shit you wouldnt do in a video game when NOBODY was chasing him 😭
The video title's somewhat misleading, this isn't simply a stolen gem, being a R8 V8 with a set of twin Turbo's in it (or a Turbo at least as far as I can tell) THIS WAS PURE TORTURE TO WATCH, this was a genuine torture video of an R8, an icon in the Autoworld being used so so so wrongly, that it actually hurt to watch. This guy got his first and last chance in an incredible car like this. Hope the car's okay.
I really hope you don't call yourself a "car guy" 'cause I don't need to see the shifting column to tell you that's as automatic as it gets. There's about a 1% chance this homeless dude could even make it 1km in a manual.
Typical dismal audi build quality. Wheels falling off, clutch burning after just 15 minutes. Even the fake exhaust sound failed! More videos like this please.
Na why when you're rich let us poor bastards pay higher insurance rates for arssholes like this guy, imagine if he'd used that money more wisely he wouldn't of had a car stolen and maybe some kids could of gone to school with clothes and a full stomach
Those petrol prices... I remember filling up my old 2006 Corolla with 95 unleaded for 95c (yes, 95 cents!!) on a drive home from Sydney in Muswellbrook back in December 2020. Good days!
I remember 17c / litre in the 1970's when a pack of Winfield Red were less than 50 cents...even in 1984 we were saying stuff like if smokes go to over a dollar for 25 I'm going to quit.
@@Ay_Tone Onya, now I had to chirp in.... I worked at a garage @ 16 and you could FILL a car for around $2 and a pack of Viscount OR Escort tens was 11 cents LOL yeah I'm a dinosaur and it was 1972
@@Ay_Tone and yeah I said I'd quit the smokes @ $1, then $2.... on and on lol but quitting is for losers remember! I simply STOPPED in 2009, 36 years after starting, and having spent enough on smokes to buy a cheap supercar! The "quit" campaign was advertising BS, on one hand they program you "if you are a quitter you are a loser" for success... and then they try using "quit" to STOP you smoking! Duzzn' make sense does it? If you want to stop you just "stop", you're not a quitter, you're a winner - unlike this idiot in the car! Anyway, with heroes like Hogan advertising "Winnie reds" you had no hope haha
Honestly the R8 v8 sounds nice but definitely shouldn’t be screaming on public’s road’s especially when there’s a mother and baby crossing. This dude doesn’t even know how to use the gearbox
This is why it is sensible to have a vehicle immobiliser that requires a PIN number to start the car - the villain wouldn't have got very far if he didn't know the PIN.
@@JunkyardDogffa good old days when TV was TV not stupid show's of every day people trying to get famous while getting peanuts while trained actors are forced out, I hate the garbage on TV I'm in Australia 🦘 and it's totally screwed the pooch unless you go online or pay TV. The best part is TV is whining on about not making money on commercials like they used to, it's not rocket science put good show's on get people back watching tv with worthwhile content and guess WHAT people will advertise with them, hell I wouldn't if you were going to put my products after 2 and a half men or naked island 🏝️ and worse pawn stars lol 😂 no wonder the Muppets in charge are going out of business 😂😂😂
@@leewilliams9904 I only watch broadcast TV occasionally when the footy is on, otherwise I stream everything. Believe it or not, some dumbasses still haven't figured out that the Pawn Stars store is just an elaborate set. Never seen such scripted bs in all my life.
these cars are meant to be driven hard. all it needs is new brake pads $600, new tires $1000, liqui moly oil $80, dsg trans fluid full service $950, one new rim $750, carbon splitter $1800, rear control arms and maybe a rear axle if damaged max $2500 Id love to get this car in an auction lmao comment section filled with haters. Car is still WELL worth fixing. under 10 grand in damage. Whoever came up with over 100k in damage must work for an insurance company. I can do the work myself easily. Only part that would be a long wait is shipping. Maximum time til project completion 3 months.
Oh you are missing so much lol. At least a full paint job and removing those dents from the fence, probably a bunch of parts on the bottom from those 80 kph speedbumps and so much more if you watch the whole vid. Besides, maybe he had custom parts or expensive versions of set part making the repairs more expensive, e.g full carbon body panels (idk if the stock one has that) but stuff like that. My bad I just saw the end, body and paint seems fine
i watched the whole thing, this guy driving reminds me of the ppl who drove my car and i had no power/control to speak, ill never go through that again
Perhaps it's because junkies don't work and can't afford to buy a car, if they have any money it goes straight to the dealer for the chemicals they crave...next stop grave.
So let me get this straight. He steals a car, brings it to each of his buddies houses looking for someone that actually cares. Then literally leaves a trail leading right to his house where he “stashed” the stolen car in his backyard. 👏😂
@@krieegs1no it's not his video, owner probably doesn't want his name out there and kept the proceedings private after the incident, rest assured the joy rider will be behind bars for many years to come!
same I was reacting like how my mom was when I started driving on the highway. ''watch out'' ''your gonna hit that car'' lol

I wonder if the pelican ever got caught in the end? Considering his probable prior lack of exotic car driving resume, his driving wasn't exactly terrible, just utterly disrespectful to the car's value and human life in general. Absolute Wunk'a. Edit: I suspect that he was on meth. Edit:2 so they got him, great to hear. I wonder how long he got behind bars for endangering life like that as well as the damage done to the car.
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.
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.
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.
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...
