Will end up in an R8 one day
I know it's not exactly in the same price bracket, but v10's are coming in for under £60k now
Have a drive of a v8 and then a v10 and you'll see they're night and day
Whereas the v8 will feel like a sports car version of your B7 RS4, the V10 feels like a mini supercar

Yeah, had it since may. It's a lovely day to day car and I've done 11k in it already, but no substitute for a weekend toy
Hence why I find myself drawn towards this R8 forum as my weekend toy went a few months back, so I'm looking to replace that hole in my life with something else to leave in the garage and worry about the kids leaning their bikes on or driving a gokart into the side of
