Are you showing off your new toy or asking us which is better?

If its the latter, which I doubt, then misano.

It looks like the driver of the cab wondering why you've parked the R8 so sodding poorly......

:P
It's all torque talk.

Turns out it wasn't...

I blame the banks.

Good to see you back in an R8. I tried to find that V8 one you mentioned at the Chelmsford dealer, I even know one of the managers there. Not made any enquires though, I'd only get the bug and a hankering after a V10 one. I was speaking to someone who saw the next gen model in Germany last month, and another that saw the same again a few days ago. It is a fully made, driving car, apparently, the room went silent, it takes the model to a whole other level, cameras etc... obviously confiscated.

Well...bought it from Leeds Audi.

Spotted it on Audi Approved site at 11pm at night at Calais waiting for the eurotunnel after driving back from my wedding in Greece.

It was as close as damn it the same spec as my last red R8 (Elmo) and a good price so I jumped on it and did the deal the next morning.

Last owner had it for 4yrs and its beyond mint. Front end recently resprayed so zero stone chips (R8's suffer very badly from this) and its been recently detailed.

The interior is very genuinely like a brand new car, the passenger seat hasn't even been sat in!

Its going in next week to have paint protection shield to the front and changing the wheels to V8 5Spokes in Audi Titan.

Then Capristo exhaust next weekend.

Will be taking it to ring and spa in Sept
