Looks lovely warren. As said give me a shout when you get it.

 

[S2K-Aaron]

Beautiful! Lovely colour too, this Red and the Yellow of @mcma1 are the best colours!

Health to drive dude!

 

[Cartunes]

I'll start the list off for test drives.

My dream car......... Guess I'll have to wait until the wife agrees we don't need a house or I invent something useful.

Health to drive. Yo mamma is so generous!

 

[mcmurray]

Fair play @WSM. Enjoy it.

 

[Boabybooster]

Have to commend ni Audi dealers on their photo taking abilities. Good colour choice.

Chase hackers basically. Lol. In a professional capacity I am a security / threat researcher. I look for new threats and reverse them to see what they’re doing etc then talk/write about them.

[WSM]

I asked you at PMG if you planned to keep the GTR and I must say your a very convincing liar lol

R8 looks incredible, hopefully it looks good in brown

Haha. Honestly. I did! I went in on a whim and must have caught them on a bad(or good) day and we did a nice deal so I thought about it and just said go for it.

I’ll be honest... it’s a super expensive car and it’s probably not something I should by burning money on. I should have bought another house or something a little more sensible but then I thought **** it Lol! This has been my dream car for many years.

Reading that doesnt help my urges to blow the money Ive saved for a deposit on something I couldnt afford to run long term ... like a stoopidly large engined German barge

You're absolutely right in what you're doing @WSM , as long as you have a house to live in, then spend the rest enjoying yourself, you never know what's round the corner and another house is certainly zero fun compared to a V10 R8!

 

[acsmyth]

That is a lovely, lovely car.

Look forward to seeing it on the road!

If you can’t afford to run it then don’t do it! Owning a house should be paramount IMHO.

Exactly mate. The old “can’t take it with you” is very true and you realise this more and more.

The last few years have taught me that especially, just enjoy it, you have a nice house and can afford a very nice car. We get one go so enjoy it all the way through IMO

 

[Reno_LV]

Can’t wait to see it and photograph!

 

[WSM]

Can’t wait to see it and photograph!

You’ll be photographing it for sure.

 

[Chris Mac]

Superb!! I had a sneaky suspicion when I saw the GTR there yesterday that this could be the case!
Awesome, absolutely awesome!

You ruined the surprise! Lol that big green thing is a no no!!

 

[Boydie]

Spotted the GTR there too and assumed as much

I can sleep in the car ... lol

You're probably right though. Probably.

 

[WSM]

Just remember. You can tell race a House. Lol! Seriously though do buy a house!

 

[Gaz]

Nice - but can't help but think its a downgrade, I mean it doesn't have any turbos for a start...

I'm a massive GTR fanboy but can't fathom how anyone would consider a 2017 R8 a downgrade. Turbos are all well and good but that high revving 600bhp+ V10 is meant to be a fantastic engine, and for pure response and feel a N/A engine like that is unbeatable.

If you're being sarcastic I apologise

I dislike NA and revving so not being sarcastic, no - though in fairness i have not yet driven the latest R8, just the previous V10 which is obviously very old tech and not a car i'd ever wish to own over a GTR, i feel the GTR would be much more exciting to drive on our roads in its nature and a lot more lairy

 

[Rocko]

How anyone cannot think this is a pinnacle of motoring is beyond me.

 

[Burt2000]

I’m normally a turbo man too, but there’s no substitute for a bhp horse power NA. The noise is on another level. Congratulations on owning your dream car. HTD

 

[Dan]

This is some serious cool! My favourite colour too. Much preferred over a GTR personally.

Hope to see it around the town now, health to drive!
