Probably best you didn't come to look at mine. Went to take it out the garage earlier for a much needed wash and the battery was totally dead. Turned the ignition watched the voltage gauge go 12.. 11.. 10.. 9.. 8.. *bong*. Luckily I knew it was on its last legs and had a new one ready to drop in but still inconvenient I really should start remembering to put it in the charger if i'm not going to drive it for a while.

PM next time you're out of town and I'll take it for a spin lol.

I hate that sinking feeling you get watching the voltage drop .. almost as much as the sinking feeling watching the fuel needle drop when stuck in needless ring road traffic!

It partly depends what I can get for my car, but upto early 20s if my man maths is right.

You'll need to wash it first


Was good to put a face to a name - good luck on the hunt - hope I helped a bit.

Shhh! I told you, it's part of the rally theme Thanks and you did, confirmed all I wanted to know.

Early 20k is plenty for a vxr8.Ringram has a nice silver manual R8 for sale N/A and is quicker than a few s/c cars its a 7.2ltr lump in it

Sounds epic, but I'm looking for something closer to standard, as will be a daily for me.

Nice car mate, well done hoping to join the R8 club one day. My CV8 will do just fine for now unless I drop on some spare cash
