Saw a R8 over the weekend
Bright RED, up near the new Wembley on Saturday, thought it maybe a player on his way to the match.

I've seen the pics and I thought that it was a nice car. Then one was coming the other way on the way to work......
that is one car with serious road presence!!
There's quite a few around here (Hereford), as it's a wealthy area. Seen a load of these in the last couple of weeks, along with S5s, RS4s and RS4 Avants.
Oh well - will have to wait, although Wifey has given the go-ahead for a nice RS4 Avant
**must resist the temptation, and be sensible for a few months!!!!88

Seen two in edinburgh, one white with a blue stripe and one black one. The row of lights that must take the place of sidelights look well smart.

My friend is on the waiting list for an R8 but has found one in Ireland for only a 2K premium.
It's still costing him >90K with options tho'
I think the LED's under the headlights look a bit naff, like it's got big false eyelashes.
For that money I think I'd rather have an Aston.

A Red one lives across from us, looks superb - he also appears to have a new RS4 and a new M5 as well and delights in razzing them past our lounge everyday

I retract my previous statement as i've just driven one
I can safely say it is amazing and would be a very very tough choice between the two

Saw a black and silver one this afternoon in solihull. Can't make my mind up to be honest, i know i'm going to get flamed for this, but it looks like a FAT TT (flame suit on) and for that amount of money, i think i'll take something with a bit more pedigree
