J_C Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Almost a year after seeing one IRL for the first time at the Geneva show, I saw my first R8 out on the open road this morning heading (rapidly) west on the M4 near Swindon. It was brilliant red, or should I say filthy mucky browny red. Not the best colour for the car at all IMO, but from the brief glimpse I got I reckon it looks better in red than pictures suggest. Awesome road presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeA2B Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I saw one last week being ragged, I could hear it when it was down the road on route past me, I just couldnt get my camera phone on quick enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarMad Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I saw a jet back one the other day, but my current highlight is seeing a Lambo Gallardo Superleggera every morning now that sounds just. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeA2B Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Went into a petrol station last night and there was a 'police meet' well more like a mothers meeting, I overheard them talking about an R8 in Manchester that keeps switching its number plates. The police had some pretty nifty cars too, An S3, Octavia VRS, Vectra V6... no chance against an R8 though haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
