Default I saw an audi r8 today!

Forget porsche, lambo, veyron, farrari, aston martins these are in my opinion the best looking cars on the road today. If I had the money I would buy one to sit next to my wrx. It might not be the fastest car in the world but if you ever get one of these cars behind you, you'll notice it more than any other car, believe me!

Lol at Audi R8 even the 2.0 Audi TDI is a headache and looks menacing in the rear mirror for a Scoob at certain speeds if your like me and dont know what the badge on the grill represents, you see loads on the Motorways.

Ive often found myself sitting at 80ish and thought they have a fair bit of grunt due to being an oil burner. Yeh they run out of puff but for what they are theyre no slouch, the Scoob may have the edge if you wind it up but its not by much.

Going on power to weight you need at least 250 bhp pton minimum on a Classic to even think about having a go with an R8 IMO.

Forget seein 1 i had a blast with one, and guess what colour WHITE.

I was at the lights minding my own business then what he do.........blast around me in the right turn lane............but the fat lady didn't Unfortunately sing for him and his mighty fine lady in the passenger seat...........but my HKS dumpvalve thru his open window.

Didn't expect to leave him or anything but idon't think he was expecting 4 door saloon blasting it next to him especially a white one

Oh well............there's a waste of 80k or how much ever they are

Had some fun with one two nites ago, and just passed one half an hour ago on the way home!

Nice, but looks a bit like an airfix model IMHO.

Awesome looking machines (better than a 911 imho), although Im not too keen on the different coloured side pods ...in the last few months Ive also seen an EB110 on the road! & a couple of a weeks ago a Veyron going at a fair old lick (which i believe belonged to Evertons' Tim Cahill)

I have seen loads of them, they are more common that I expected.

There was one in Prosport getting some work done last time I was there.

I also saw a Veyron the other day plodding along the A1 on the way to work!
