Not talking about youtube, top gear, race tracks, forums, dealerships or test drives.

But just on a normal commute around town or to work? I have only seen 3!

-town centre, driving the other way
-m25 in the fast lane (no surprise!)
-parked up on the kerb! Surely it deserves a proper car park than outside the pub on the kerb? (saw it this evening!!! brand new too as it had 58 plate)

Yes about 3/4 since it was released- I guess there will be more sightings around big money areas like London/Surrey, but first I saw was on A11 tailing one, he kindly let me past so I could check out the front end too :biglaugh:

A black one has just appeared over the road from my house.

Waiting to see if it's a teset drive or a purchase !

not seen one that close before and my lord it's a fantastic looking car. And the sound, wow.

I've seen about two/three R8s... one on the motorway, one near Aston University and one in Tettenhall (Wolverhampton). There's also a feature about the R8 on iMotor's website:
