Saw one on Saturday on the A666 towards Bolton. It was a silver one and TBH it did not stand out at all. Very low key much like a 911.

BTW Rick, love the signature Avatar. The Porsche looks cool ;)

I was driving from Inverness to Aberdeen last Sunday and this fantastic sounding black R8 was infront of me... for about 5 minutes until there was space to overtake. Gone. I was haring up the dual carriageway wizzing past the Fiat Punto's in the slow lane and hear sirens. Ooopps... Thankfully it wasn't for me.

Coppers pull up next to me and stare at my car. The passenger pig turned to the other one and they sped off down the road. They must have thought I was the black Audi they were after... Was quite funny. I hope the guy in the R8 didn't caught because your car made the best noise I'd heard all weekend! :biglaugh:

Haha, very true!

What a lovely car though. My Dad was thinking of swapping a Merc AMG SLR 55 for a second hand R8. He won't swap his 911 understandably. I think he should save up for the diesel though! :biglaugh:

Yeah, he does. Benefits of working in a dangerous country I guess. You get paid more for the risks...

I would say I'd stay in comfy Britain...but...well, Britain ain't what it used to be...
