Saw an R8 today

There are a few in Newport... including a Silver one with Carbon Sideblades that pulled into the garage I was washing my car in.... I just stood and stared for a few moments and felt a strange sensation in my under-garments....

Saw a graphite coloured one down here in Cornwall, and yes, I too had a 'near love

explosion' moment, so to speak.:o

How can anyone not like that machine?

I saw a black one on the M25 in the traffic the other morning - stunning :thumbup:

I still think they should have kept the LED running lights exclusive to the R8/S6/RS6 as any A4 and A5 can have them too.

Am i the only person that DOESNT like them?

Though i do appreciate the performace and capabilities, i really think they look a bit poo.

No you're not. I think they look too much like the TT and thats not nice either.

Not a fan.

Cheers

I don't like it; purely because those LED's just look so naff. They look so aftermarket afterthought, like those little blue LED's that ****'s fit below the wiper blades on their Corsa's. Totally ruin the cars.

No me too. Seen them in black and white but just doesn't do it for me.

For they money ~£80k I'd rather have one of

Aston Martin Vantage Coupe

Jaguar XK Coupe

Maserati Granturismo Coupe

Or a used

Bentley Continental

Ferrari 360

Lambo Gallardo

I don't really "get" them, although that black one is the best colour I've seen one in as it hides the stick on grey plastic bits which make all the other colours look naff, imho.

Oh, and I agree about the space-ship style running lights too :rofl:

But has anyone aeen an A5 with the LED lights not turned on!

When I see an A5 or new TT, I think yes.......... an R8, but no.

Only seen one at the bullring, not on the roads yet.
