R8 in the flesh

, saw one in silver at M&S Moortown carpark earlier today.StuB said:
Did it sound good Al? Hope it was given the beans as that mill in the RS4 sounds good.
What colour was it? Thoughts on aesthetics/that huge silvery panel?
What was the pub like too? Always on the look out for new places to visit.
Didn't hear it Stu as it arrived while we were inside ... having said that, we were sat by the window next to the car park and I'm damned certain I'd have heard a Ferrari or Lamborghini pull in What colour was it? Thoughts on aesthetics/that huge silvery panel?

Don't know which silvery panel you mean. This one was metallic black and looked very nice and very well proportioned.
Pub's very nice, good atmosphere, nice old wooden beams and panelling but not small and stuffy, and a good menu.
Me and Vic are off out into york on Saturday. There's a very nice Champagne Bar and restaurant called Biltmores or similar that is meant to be very good for a meal. I'll let you know.

It is a very pleasant place to be, not full of chavy kids as its aimed at the ah em... slightly more mature clientel, never eaten there but the food looks good.

and I know the 911 camp is where a lot of the R8 Hate comes from but my god the 911 looks like a poor reletive in comparison. The R8 is a really beautiful car.
Didn't realise that. I'm a bit surprised because whereas the 911 is a classic near perfect design, in my opinion the R8 takes it's styling from the much more contemporary Bugatti, Ascari and of course Lamborghini lines.
I think they would let most people in to the bar to be honest ... it was a bit of a let down, the Star at Harome or Heathcotes it is not!
Yes, the upstairs has lovely decor and place settings, but the food quite simply is not up to scratch. We spent nearly £100 (no bottle of wine either as I was driving) on food that was at best, cheap brasserie.
Also, the centre of the room being an open void to the downstairs bar was a double-edged sword. On one hand it adds atmosphere and is an interesting feature, but on the other, you really shouldn't have to practically shout to make yourself heard when you are sat at a two person table, the music was so loud from the downstairs bar.
We thought it might be an idea to try a mid-week night that may not have the mobile DJ in residence ... but the food was so uninspiring that we can't be bothered.
We'll do the Hotham Arms where we can get a taxi back into the bargain next time
(now there's a place that I can recommend!)
