White R8 - TAK3N - Birmingham

Post by max_b » Sat Jan 19, 2013 10:13 pm

Spotted over the last few mornings out in the poor weather heading onto the Hagley Road coming from Halesowen ways.
Be interested to know how easy it is to drive in the crappy weather :bigwave:

Fair few R8s around here now. I have seen 2 white hard tops, 1 white with black soft top and a couple of other colours in the last month. Haven't been able to really notice number plates though.
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!

They are very good in the snow to be honest, Quattro and Mid-engine :thumbs:

Just need to find some winter tyres in 305's :D

Heh, that would be me. :biggrin3:
Took it out on Friday in the snow, and I was pleasently suprised at how well it handled. Didn't really have any problems at all, besides the concern of how well the cars around me would cope.

No worries, will give you a (light) flash next time I see you one of the mornings (still on dropping the kids at a school duty for the next couple of weeks!)
Glad you guys are finding them easy to use in this weather, just wish there was an extra seat in there somewhere for the days I'm on the school run!
