A mate of mine picked up his new R8 this morning and very kindly stopped by the office so I could take it for a spin What an awesome peice of kit. It doesnt matter what gear you are in it just goes, and the noise............... Just didnt wanna stop driving it.

Drove one last year around a track for a few laps, got to agree was very nice but the clunky gearbox took some getting used to

Thats my dad who also drove it on the same day
