Just saw my second R8 up close and personal

I saw the lemans version in Sweden couple months ago.. atleast I think it was. Allot louder huge spoiler and some writing on the side... I like the over all look it is not bad. But for $133k and 0-62 in 4.4 that is a little dissapointing...

Ill post pictures soon

MrBucket is infamous around these parts
The car is faster than what Audi claims, they tend to be very conservative with their numbers.

Just went up thier today and they sold them both. I was going to show wife and think of buying it...

Curtis I bought my red car back so I have both turbo and S. The S is just a great feeling car to drive.

Awesome, you should take me for a spin in it when I bring the cones up to your place if it's up there... I want to feel a porsche without the weight of the drop top.

That Turbo cab of mine is nothing special the coupe is faster. but with any turbo they dont feel fast. but when you get in my c2s it will feel faster and allot more torque feeling since no turbos. i will take you for a spin maybe even let you drive my baby, i love my red car. when i get the R8 we will hook up and you can drive in it.

Please if you can just bring the cones to boardwalk since you work near by that would be awsome!

Go to the Audi bay tell them you are returning the cones that Dritan picked up and they have a little storage area on the other side of the service guys. Just throw them in thier. Call me when you do that please so I know that they have been dropped off. I will ask tomorrow if you can come and take pictures at the Porsche event Sunday.

Thanks again.
