Silverstone (GP) is another track I need to try.
I was surprised how good it is. I used to love the old circuit. Fancy bringing the GT3 and I'll bring the Caterham some time? Last week was my first time on track for around 18 months (excluding a few laps in a VX220 at Brands one evening) and its reminded me how much fun it is so I'd be up for another day later this year!!
Interesting, or not, how whilst Pork and Italian marques have been soaring, that the Audi R8 has remained in a fairly steady decline down to about £40k.
I often wonder whether this is the definitive everyday supercar. But then you consider the lack of heritage relative to the aforementioned and question its merits. Then you counter that with thoughts of original NSX; Everyone has to start somewhere.
I like the zingy bent eight and the warm glow perceived reliability. I still can't come to terms with the styling and the pastiche effects such as the open gate gearshift.
Then I come to the internal conversation about whether it's worth double an RS4 Avant, which would probably do 85% of the tricks, 100% of the time, and then offers true practicality to boot (bad-um-tish)....
Tempted but not tempted

IMO the R8 has never quite been special enough.I often wonder whether this is the definitive everyday supercar. But then you consider the lack of heritage relative to the aforementioned and question its merits. Then you counter that with thoughts of original NSX; Everyone has to start somewhere.

Brilliant car, just lacks the pizzazz of a Porsche or something Italian.

I think that's pushing it. However, given the prices of comparitors, I would have to say, regrettably, they're worth it.
Yeah, I did ask myself why I was so surprised at Type-Rs being £200k+ when Porsches of the RS variety seem to be going for multiples.I swiftly moved onto looking at McL 12Cs for the money though!

Even then, a Gallardo is a bit more exciting.
