Were you the donkey in the R8 Nr Ipswich (A12) on Friday...

Okay...maybe I should choose my words a bit better.... 
Spotted R8 (dark grey) initially on the A14, driving fairly leisurely @ about 1400hrs last Friday.
5 to 10 mins later got excited (sorry - I'm passionate about motors, especially Audi's) as it pulled along side me @ the roundabout near Tesco's on the A12. Thought I would exchange a friendly hi - nice motors etc...but got no response from the guy - oh well, not everyone is as passionate...
As he was in the L/H lane, presumed he was turning left...lights went to green, went over r/about with R8 in moderate traffic - R8 got stuck behind a truck & then tried (no indication) to come out in front of me.
I'm usually quite a laid back & courteous driver - BUT I can't stand people who push in.
I think he made some remark & pulled in behind me...traffic cleared - he moved quickly up onto my B7's bumper (I don't usually get into silly wars on the road by the way) - but clear empty road in front seemed very inviting, thought what the heck - floored the old girl from about 5k revs, with the 'fast' moving R8 slipping slowly away behind me...got to about 70ish (I do tell a white lie now and again) - he was clearly still on the charge, but still slipping behind - then hit the nxt r/about & never seen him again...
I thought these cars were fast...
Maybe he was just one of these 'I luv myself - look @ my motor types' or maybe not - but not the friendly type, certainly wont be on this site (probably too below him) - but one things for sure - he can't drive his powerful car...
PS Lovely car though...
