Default Audi RS6 Crash

Hi everyone,
Just got sent this in an email and although we've all seen many crash pics, I'd not seen this one before. Anyway, if its been posted before, mods please feel free to delete.

Cheers,
Leah :

(ex) Audi RS 6 Twin turbo V8 @ 250km/h +

Driver got out, walked away and called emergency on his phone . Take note -this is one car not two.

I doubt he would have been so lucky in a right hand drive car. But then, maybe he would have it the pole with the other side anyway.

Extract from Audi driver's handbook?:
To reassemble, rotate rear section 180 degrees, reattach bolts A, B, C, D, M and N to nuts U, V, W, T, Q and Z.
Reattach wiring looms as per colours (red to red, blue to blue etc).
Place console lid on console engaging tabs A and B, reattach mobile phone charger.
Reaffix cargo cover blind clicking into fasteners G and H at each side.
Roll roof back into place using "sardine tin" key supplied (part no. VWG J00000003XE).
Tuck airbags neatly back into containers, taking care not to crease corners.
Plug exhaust system back into hole A at front and hole B at rear.
Reverse left rear wheel with hub side inwards.
Plug in right side replacement kit (Part no. VWG 000000000000000004XE).
Affix run-flat spare to right front using whatever attachment points available.
Straighten windscreen wipers using gentle pressure between left thumb and right palm (reverse hands for rear wiper).
Sew up upholstery tears using Audi needlework kit (Part no. VWG 01AA).
Replace mobile phone SIM card.
Blow into catalytic converter tube and reconnect (take care not to suck).
Start engine and drive to closest Audi dealer for oil change and polish.
