bkw- i recognize your clip from you tube- if i can find it i will get the link up.
woops- nm, asiliat has it above!!

nin009- yup- i shot over 300 frames (not of cars). no way am i gonna load those up!!
but i will post one if i get a chance of a sporty smart-car (i think thats what it was) that i had not seen before.

 

btw- maybe an even better you tube for r8 vs. 911 (the "vw beetle in running shoes" that he ran off the road!!)- and certainly more theatrical!

including powersliding in a 4 wheel drive car (and a women driver- sabine- helmetless):

I really love the R8, and I havent even seen it in person. Cant wait to see the V10 version!!

 

You were in Paris? Nice!

 

pure photoshop, but check out this convertible (they will produce a convert, but no one really knows what it will look like):

the car looks so much better in person, and i can tell you that when it is moving it is even more impressive-

 

In person you cannot mistake them. The rear of the R8 is really squat and flat. It does look amazing in real life. And it drives fantastically. While not as hard-core as some Porsche's, I'd take one over a Maserati, Aston Martin, or Jag. The fact I could get it serviced ~1 mile from my house is a distinct bonus.

 

I saw one driving bye Lime Rock before the ALMS race this past summer.. also one of the LR pace cars is an R8.. so sweet.

 

"this is like...smearing honey into keira knightley" ...haha

 

I agree, Paris is such a great place!
