very nice indeed....

Bucket seat options must be rare on R8's....not sure those seats will hold you in on track days - Recaro PP's me thinks

Dave, inserts pull out and you can order them in 11 colours too :D

Just a heads up to anyone looking for Recaro seats - they are putting their prices up 30% for all orders taken after 15th December...

Dave your R8 sounded mental. Loud is not the word.

Reminded me of some old Corvette Racer from the 70s.

You need to get some sound clips up for the rest to hear.

Sonny, I only wound it up to 4krpm as it was cold.

It just gets louder and louder till you get to 8,250rpm

Bam - you have a challenge on your hands

I fear for the poor countryside people :-(

Bam I never heard it at MRC only listens to it on video. Think you may have a battle on your hands mate, it's bloody loud. I laughed when he started it up.in a good way of course.

Sonny, the sound on the video only goes up to 10, it's a design flaw unless you've bought yourself an amplifier made by "Spinal Tap". It is silly loud with added turbo blades of death slicing air until 3500rpm.

So... upon hearing each others respective ASBO creations on Sunday morning, we declare a winner there and then, making it so the loser is forced to start a new post on this forum for all to see. Deal DK?

Either way, anyone asleep at that time, loses.
No matter where you go, there you are.
