great commercial, but no Audi

I did see an *actual good Audi ad* the other day, which was perhaps a
bit implausible (but not necessarily impossible).  It opens with someone
water skiing on one of those wide boogie boards; he's really chopping
through stuff, going fast, making nice 360's and such.  Then for a short
second you see him in the rearview mirror of a car; then it's back to
him.  Then the camera pulls out and you see that he's being pulled by an
Audi.  He makes a dramatic end, then wades to the trunk of the car
(maybe shin-deep water), and puts the board in the trunk.  As the car
drives away a "slippery when wet" sign pops up, and the word "Not" over
it.
Pretty fun; it's not often that you see an Audi and and think "hey, that
was pretty good!"
