Nickyyy's Ibis White Audi R8

[Nickyyy]

After selling the M3 my head was melted on what to do next, buy a house or buy a car, I'm only 25 and all my life to buy a house.

So the car won! Was on the hunt for an R8 that ticked all my boxes, it had to be white, manual and have carbon fibre side blades, this popped up in England for sale and I flew out yesterday morning and got the boat back over from Holyhead.

WOW is all I can say, in terms of straightline speed the E92 is pretty much neck and neck, but everywhere else this car excels, it's like driving a go kart, so much grip and it sounds phenomenal with the after market exhaust that is installed

Spec:

Ibis White
Carbon Blades
CD Changer
NAV Plus
Parking Sensors front and rear
Mag Ride
Manual
Heated seats
Hill Hold assist
Lighting package
Electric seats
Bluetooth prep

It also has an Audi Alcantatara wheel, and and unknown brand exhaust, it sounds amazing though


Plans for the car currently are

Refurb the steering wheel
Plate on
Maybe change the front grill to the newer style honey comb (still undecided though)
Get the gear shift knob refurbed

I love your attitude, as you say get what you want now and the house can come later.
Looks unreal, enjoy every second

 

[MarkM]

Amazing

Did I hear this about 20 mins ago in ballymena it sounded like thunder. Stunning piece of machinery fair play house can wait. Plus a house doesn't sound as good and you can't drift a house.

Fair play, that's the right attitude and some change from an E92.

HTD.

Hell yes Nicky, hell yes.

Good choice lol, that looks class!
I often wonder had we not built the house what all my fleet would consist of

 

[Dave..]

Awesome

 

[richie_mck]

That is awesome great choice. Houses can come later, enjoying life is the right attitude

 

[domo gti]

Top class.. well played! Congrats

 

[FM155]

Fair play thats bloody class. Good man! An R8 V8 is about the only audi that would hold any interest for me.

 

[Woodcutter]

Unreal, best car out there for the money IMO, a very wise buy!

Good attitude too, plenty of time for houses, enjoy your R8!

 

[Phil_EK9]

Houses are for the boring

Great choice, so much car for the money these days.

 

[Coog]

You can always sleep in a car but you can't drive a house lol

 

[hre1d]

Amazing, excellent choice

HTD!

 

[Conor]

Absolutely unreal! Fair play man!

I would imagine that despite the fact it's not really faster, it's much more of an 'experience' to drive than the M3. And I'm sure you feel like a ******* rock star. Lol

 

[NickR]

Awesome....I wish I had of done something similar instead of buying a house
