Just saw Nick's car, it's lovely but a 'loon, if I was 'downsizing' to a B7 I'd need an avant. Nothing wrong with spunking money on R8s, just as long as you know when to let them go before it owes you too much money. Out of interest, how's the new R8 launch affected prices?

Missed this. If using them in snow conditions, skinnier tyres are more effective.

In actual fact, the recommended winter weather tyre for the C5 RS is 225/45/18r IIRC. It must look like it's riding on chocolate digestives!

A facelift R8 is x2 the cost of my car and if you want a manual then that's ALOT to pay for a bodykit!!
