R8?

Post by DuncanMac » Thu Oct 26, 2006 1:51 pm

Im in a quandry big time... A nice one to be in but still...

What are peeps thoughs?

I have a gallardo coming in June/July time 07 to replace the RS4 with... but having seen the R8 i must admit I am a little bit attracted to it... So what do I do, take the Gallardo, Take the R8 or maybe if im mad enough take both and maybe a mini for a run around?

grrrr - why is my only vice in life cars!

D,

U can only drive one car at one time!! Me, having had Gallardo, would go with R8; both will lose money, but the economics of demand and supply should see residuals better in the short term for the R8. I'll buy it off you... Why not buy an LP640 instead....Discuss LOL

Iain,

Did u get my email the other week about fcar quotes? Im getting itchy feet with the RS4!

Thought you might have been on hols as it was half term?

Hmmmm so whats wrong with the gallardo? I have a slot for june/july but not sure whether to sell it on or not. Got a guy who works for me thats interested in taking it off my hands.

Really want to get into something else in the new year. I love the RS4 dont get me wrong but Im itching for something new ;-)

Im not worried about residuals too much (within reason) just want to get some driving enjoyment ;-)

LP640 - would love one ;-) Little bit BIG for my liking though? AMV8??

I'd be interested to hear what you decide pros\cons etc for the Gallardo vs R8 (vs AMv8?)
