Graeme. Joking aside; obviously glad you escaped unscathed. Did you have enough time with the car before to form an opinion?

Unfortunately, about 20 mins stuck in traffic
Only conclusion I could make is that it's good in traffic and the sat nav/system is overly complicated at first

One thing is for sure, it's too dear for me (sorry).

On request of the supplying dealer, I've removed the photo's
Can't imagine they're going to loan me an R8 again, so I guess I'll not really find out what they're like
It was tough to say from the brief drive, but I liked the look of the car, but the dash was over complicated and not as easy to spot the speed by having it tucked over to the right, The rev counter was perfectly placed, but I couldn't see a way to get the speed in the centre section, like in my RS4
It made an ok noise, but didn't seem as good as Bath Audi's car, which had sports exhausts
