The Embarrassment : R2.5 Million Car Gets Stuck On Beach [Video]

Certain cars are built to handle the soft sand of the beach, tailor-made for some good times roaring around the sane dunes. This isn't one of them.

If you’ve ever watched someone pull up to a bar in a fancy pants car, engine revving and mouth grinning, you’ll know that folks tend to look on with a mixture of jealousy and contempt.

The doors open and a suave looking couple climb out – everyone judges hard, then goes back to moaning about their own lives.

Well here’s one for all you haters then, a chance to laugh at the misfortune of this gentleman in Cornwall. The Telegraph says the car is a luxury Bentley Continental Flying Spur, which we’ll take on their word because I really don’t care much about cars:

In the video a team of locals try to help move the car after the wealthy driver underestimated the weight of his 2.5-tonne vehicle on the sand.

The men tried for around five hours to help free the car before it was eventually pulled away by a tractor.

The incident happened in Marazion near Penzance, Cornwall.

Point and laugh folks, the man (believed to be a Russian in his early 20’s) still gets to drive off in this beast, albeit with his tail between his legs.
