Default Found this at work this morning

Arrived on the job this morning and the customer has brought his weekend toy in to show me.
Stunning looking thing in white.... Rear tyres are HUGE,,,, 305's !!!!

Asked if he fancied a race for logbooks, but he's not that stupid, lol.. Reckon the R8 would look nice in my garage. Never mind, I can keep dreaming.

They are stunning cars indeed especially in white. However for the price brand new, I know where my money would go......

I love the Audi R8, I've been in a family friends a few times, the only downside is you sit really low, you kind of feel like you're looking up at all the other traffic, it's a wicked car though and I'd love to own one

It's not just a performance thing though with the R8. You have the looks, performance and prestige with the R8. Other than performance the scoob has little else, they are not the prettiest looking cars are they

Personally if i had the dosh to buy an R8 I wouldn't, for me its GTR everyday of the week however I wouldn't say no if someone gave me the keys!!

Mate. If I wanted a pretty car I'd lop off my manhood and strut around calling myself Prucilla. Scooby any day . They look good in a manly way instead.

For the money of r8 or gtr I would have a used Lamborghini gallardo but now I can stop dreaming am more than happy what my sub 10k jdm sti can give me, great performance per pound and within my budget. Even if I won the lottery I would keep the scoob, although a lm400 would be fitted
