Default Audi R8

Decided to go for a drive to arrochar today.On the way back past inverbeg i see this mad looking thing coming rushing towards me and it turned out to be a dark metallic grey audi R8.I didn't even know they were out yet and i have to say it looked absolutely stunning.Just after i was getting over the shock of seeing it another 2 of them came winging around the corner and when i reached balloch another 2 past me!I don't know whats going on with them in scotland this weekend,maybe a road test or something?But i now know what my new dream car is!They were in 3 colours,the grey(2) asilver one and two blacks.I think the silver followed by the black looked nicest.

I like the TT body kit that has already been made to make it look like an R8

I'll ask someone who has one on order (R8 not TT bodykit)

It must be I saw one today in Holmes Chapel. Same colour as nearly every other Audi on the planet. Metallic grey.

Looked pretty good though

I was up there at the weekend too. I saw six of them within a mile of each other on the A82 on Saturday afternoon.
They were all UK registered.
Cool looking car. Love the LED's under the headlights.

Why did they all have the lights on when it was such a bright sunny day?I found it quite odd,maybe it's an electrical fault that leads to fires............................
