Any R8 owners in Kent - big favour to ask
Discussion
Hopefully someone can assist. A friend and I are going 50:50 on a V8 R8. To cut a long story a little shorter, the car and I reside in Switzerland, whilst the friend is in Kent. We will share ownership between the two countries. I have located a car at a local Zurich dealer and had an extensive test drive. However, he has not driven one and having to put trust in my feedback before laying out his 50%. Finding a UK dealer that will allow a short test drive is proving impossible.
Is there a generous R8 owner out there, locally to Kent that would let him have a 2 minute spin (for want of a better word). It's really just to see if he likes the steering, etc. Not a spirited drive, just a large car park would suffice. Can trade a drive in a GTR and a pint (not together!!) if that appeals.
The other alternative is to fly him to Zurich next weekend.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I just don't know how to respond to that.FraserLFA said:
Am i to assume you own a GTR?
Personally i'd rather have that(Personal Choice) but what appeals to you about the R8 over the GTR? I prefer the GTR although i am not sure why.
The GTR is awesome, but a bit of a one-trick pony. I appreciate how quick it is (and the gearbox is something really special) but it's a little soul-less. Just too good if that makes any sense. I need to be driving at silly speeds to get the same sensation I got at 60mph in the R8. Personally i'd rather have that(Personal Choice) but what appeals to you about the R8 over the GTR?

I'll be slower in the R8 but will probably have a bigger smile. It's about the journey there rather than how quickly you arrive blah blah !!
