Default R8 Article About the TOD

I just received my copy of Automobile magazine.
There is a writeup with photos of a drivers run on the dragon. What is interesting is that this is the same car that someone has posted pictures in this forum.

One picture in the magazine has the R8 and 3 S 2000s parked around it.

The R8 guy was impressed with that stretch of Hwy 129.

I'd post the article but for the copyright rules.

I read that article also. Pretty good

I was surprised to see 3 S2000's in that one picture.

The Suzuka is mine! Woo hoo! I'm in a magazine!

The NFR is Ron's and the "gray" one (ok, Sebring) is Raul's.

That was an awesome car to see in person.

Hey Scott, I put a post up in the Carolinas too. I am giving the little Cuban boy grief this morning for those bras.... which he says is your fault b/c he would have forgot aout it hadn't it been for yours...... I blame DEIGER for selling it to him and him for buying it in the first place.... as for you... I don't think I have ever seen the paint on the front of your car before ......

at least mine's not nearly as wrinkled as Raul's.

There's paint there, it's just there are too many bugs and rocks between here and the Dragon to go without it.
