R8 for the weekend!

[Giblets]

As a perk with the job I've got my bosses black Audi R8 for the whole weekend!

Shame there's no meet as I could have brought it along and had some fun with Baz's Viper!

Will post some pics here shortly.

R8

I actually quite like the look of those.

That's it.  

That's about the most praise I can give a modern car, dammit !

I see one on a car transporter this morning, and i must say it was wraped up in material printed with R8 rather than the usual white sticky stuff you see on the other cars

Well thank feck for that

Even more reason to get one.

Looks good from the front, the different coloured middle bit looks right wank though, like a dodgy cut'n shut TT.

Supposed to be a good car, don't know too much about them though.
Really quicker than a Viper in a straight line though???

"Football star Ronaldo was tanking it in his brand new Audi R8 when he lost control and spun the car 180 degrees"

So audi have another car that wont handle add to this the tiptronic boxes on the A5's failing at an alarming rate and its all good for vorsprung durk technik

[Giblets]

Well I can safely say I'm here and in one piece!

My boss wouldn't let me turn of the traction control or even water it down, and I read they you can spin them even in the midway setting as it's pretty much all power to the rear.

I know the car is pretty much as far removed from the ethos of the MKB club as you can get, but anyone with an ounce of super unleaded running through their veins would have had as much fun as i did with it.

Knowing you can flat out cream 99.9% of the cars on the road if you want to is a load of fun. This car gets to 100mph in under 10 secs and runs a quarter in 12.9.

The margin by which I destroyed a 3.2 Audi TT on the A507 was hilarious.

The noise (from the outside at least) is fantastic, and the car gathers stares like no other. I pulled into the Shell garage near the Airport to fuel up and got several thumbs up from Fiesta ST and Corsa drivers.

Sadly the weather prevented any assaults on really fast speeds, although I managed a quick 145mph run between roundabouts on the A507 with a mate who damn near soiled himself.

I hear you buddy...

[HardRockCamaro]

Looks tasty in black, stupid middle bit not so noticeable either.

[Fieldy]

There is A bright red one on one of these 'best of the best' stands in Heathrow, it looks terrible in that colour,

But black rocks

I love them cars, awesome

It's got a V8 ?

And it is pretty cool.

[Giblets]

Yep it's got a V8 alright, but the similarities end at 8 cylinders in a V formation!

My mate who has an S3 posts on a performance Audi message board, where there are already reported sightings of a black R8 in North Herts over the weekend.

Co-incidence?

Probably not seeing as how slowly they are making them. I've only seen one other so far, and it was on the A3 coming out of Portsmouth and it was silver.

When i went with my dad to the storage company that he kept the TR6 at they had 60 there waiting to be delivered to customers

I saw a black one on the way to Graeme's (towcester) a little while back . . .

[Incursus]

Seen a Silver one 3 times.  could be the same one each time

[F Body]

Never seen one on the road but I'm surprised how small it looks in black

I like most things with an engine, I'd sell Management to get that motor for the weekend.........................

How do you think I got the Chinese Beatch
