Saw my first R8 today, heading towards Morrisons in Cambourne, Cambridgeshire. It was quite a sight!

Very wide and low, a lot wider and lower than pictures would suggest. Also it was pretty damm loud. I was expecting something reasonably quiet but it burbled by.

Quite a site, made my day!

Mates brother has just taken delivery of his and he gave me a ride yesterday around Sheffield. Nice car.

I saw one down Abbeydale Road in shef last week, only coming off down a 20mph side road unfortunately but at least it gave me an extra second or so to have a ganders smile

I picked up an N reg A6 2.8 Quattro a couple of weeks ago and I cant say how much I wish I had done the swap away from lightweight french cars a long time ago, quality!

Cheers

Saw it again today near Cambourne. Tracked it down to a guy who lives in my village.

I think I might have a new friend soon yes
