    Just got the Sports Showcase invite letter today for the same event in the Glasgow area. Its this Sunday.
    Pretty poor organisation i'd say to only give 3 days notice.

    The RS7 was lovely but by heck it felt like a very heavy and wallowy car at speed on uneven roads. Was quick 0-go to jail, I averaged 15 mpg over 60 miles and it just convinced me even more that I want a BiTurbo next. The steering was deader than Jimi Hendrix.
    The R8 was a huge disappointment aside from the speed. It needs replacing, quickly. I wouldn't spend £30k on one let alone £155k.

    £155,000 didn't realise they had got as dear as that, that price threshold opens up a whole world of different cars to consider before the R8.

    This was the V10 Plus and had the options book thrown at it.

    12 month old lightly used MP4-12C would be my choice.

    The reviews seem to say that they aren't exactly problem free. Car, or was it Top Gear ran one for a while, it went wrong a lot.
