Haven't noticed a car thread on here for a while...

This R8 Spyder V10 came in for evaluation a couple of weeks ago. Did a full circuit of the guys in the office and between us we racked up 1500 miles and consumed nigh-on £600 of 99 ron in the process, not to mention about £50 on coffee and Lion bars.
Despite the fun had driving it, would've been rude to send it back without pointing my Nikon in its general direction so here is probably my most cohesive and comprehensive car set yet, helped in part by the awesome light we've had recently and placed before you for general interest or thorough C&C, whatever you fancy.
Sized at 640px here to avoid PH squishyness, images click through to flickr pages.
1) 3am on the first night, after a run. The car was dirty so this dark result was the only option
2) 3am on the last night, after a run. This time gave it a sponge down at an all-night garage
3) All-LED - expensive option but what you want in front of you to make progress through the darkness
4) No point making progress if you can't stop
5) And breathe...
6) Cash vacuum
7) Additional downforce
8) Stop!
9) Tops 70 in second; a bit more in sixth
10) Carbon trim another pricey option; B&O provides alternative soundtrack to the V10
11) WLTM tunnel for fun and good times
12) Auto-deploy at 75mph; no, it's just this switch here officer.
13) Neeeeeeeeeoooooooow
14) Nearly home

Great set
Thought of you as I was processing the plate 10JH said:
Fantastic photos! It makes such a difference to the usual photos by being shot at night.
How were the LED lights? Seem to remember Reading they cost an extra £700 on the new A8.
The lights were amazing, though for £2800 you could probably fund a genetic project to crossbreed fireflies with a Peregrine Falcon and light the way even further ahead.How were the LED lights? Seem to remember Reading they cost an extra £700 on the new A8.
