Advertisement Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 Hi abrewer, Take a look here Audi R8. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Marquinius Posted December 29, 2007 Share #4 Posted December 29, 2007 Very nice shots indeed ... but a very ugly car. Thing is: it will probably drive like a dream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted December 30, 2007 Thank you Vic, and Henri, and Marco! Yes, Vic, I've always wanted to own one of those too! Maybe in my next life... Thanks Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flatfour Posted December 30, 2007 Share #6 Posted December 30, 2007 Everything about this car suggests it should be great but Jeremy Clarkson wasn't very impressed. We'll just have to wait to see what the public think. Will they buy it or not ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share #7 Posted December 30, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) But that's Clarkson The car has gotten good reviews over here However, I am still not a big fan of the huge Audi grillwork of the current series of cars--it is just too over-the-top IMO The R8 obviously has it in spades Thanks Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted December 30, 2007 Share #8 Posted December 30, 2007 Allan - I'm still not sure about the "blade", and if works better in this color combination that the others I've seen, but quite a car. You've once again caught it as the manufacturer would like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoskeptic Posted December 30, 2007 Share #9 Posted December 30, 2007 Having owned several quattros, I feel the front ends of the current models are uglier than hammered hockey puck and Audi needs to go back to the drawing board. But there is no question the R8 has presence, but the engine under glass copying the Ferrari doesn't do them proud either, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted December 30, 2007 Share #10 Posted December 30, 2007 I have been on the motorway and "approached" from behind by an R8. For 99.9% of people on the road, they know to just get out of the way... IMHO, this white paint job does it no favours whatsoever. In the right colour, it's a fabulous looking car. Given that we are at the end-game for cars like this, along with Range Rovers and other "gas-guzzlers", maybe they should be celebrated for more than they are. The end of an era. Dinosaurs, but fun while they lasted.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted December 31, 2007 Share #11 Posted December 31, 2007 But that's Clarkson Indeed, can't stand the man personally. Andy Barton is right, in the flesh, and in a different colour, the car looks excellent. Easy access if you need to top up the oil too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted December 31, 2007 Share #12 Posted December 31, 2007 I understand that the waiting list is considerable and there will be a huge premium if you want one quickly. I managed five minutes in the driver's seat of a prototype last Summer, although the car was full of telemetry gizmos it did seem very well put together. It looked pretty good in bright red and the carbon side panels can be specified in body colour, can't see the point of them as shown and I agree that the current crop of AUDI grilles are rather heavy-handed. I'm told that Clarkson purposely broke part of the interior of a Bentley Continental GT which he had on test and also trashed the brakes after repeated emergency stops from 150 mph, he then complained about the brakes feeling soft afterwards! Nuff said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted December 31, 2007 Share #13 Posted December 31, 2007 He did also blow up the engine in a Ferrari a few years ago if I remember correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elansprint72 Posted December 31, 2007 Share #15 Posted December 31, 2007 Allan, Hope you don't mind me posting this here- it shows how the car looks better in a colour other than white! I don't think it's a Leica shot, so I'll award myself another Yellow Card. Welcome, dear visitor!

abrewer Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share #16 Posted December 31, 2007 Nice shot, Pete You get a "light yellow" As long as we're bitching about current car design: I can't stand this supposedly high-tech gray carbon-fiber/silvery titanium look on 99% of the cars that are using it Yes, it looked splendid on the first TT; but now I see it on Acura's and Saturns...it has become the interior du jour and I don't like it!!! Rant over Thanks Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share #17 Posted December 31, 2007 Car magazines in this country won't test drive cars for publication if they know that Top Gear have had them first. I can't blame them I'd not want a car after those guys had spun it into a meadow at high speed, or backed a tractor cart into it (a prototype, no less!) They are literal vandals with the property IMO; but I wouldn't miss the show for the world! Thanks Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flatfour Posted January 1, 2008 Share #18 Posted January 1, 2008 Andy - I am not so sure about the gas-guzzlers scenario. Cars have improved their consumptuion dramatically over the least 20 years. Now there are an ever growing number of scientists who say that Al Gore is completely wrong - surprise, surprise, - and that we are entering a period of global cooling when we shall need every ounce of man-made CO2 we can produce.

Guest flatfour Posted January 1, 2008 Share #20 Posted January 1, 2008 Sorry Andy, but to me it is not an argument. I'm involved, so I just look at the evidence and ignore the politicians. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
