Audi R8, parked up in my local Tesco's carpark.
Managed a few quick shots before the owner returned, some Property developer, apparently, Asked him how much Insurance was, He said about £1200 Fully comp, and the guy was younger than me.

I so need a new job... [cursing]

Beautiful Car I want. Oh and rapidshare sucks it's taking me 4 tries to get this damn picture cuz of the stupid security image and the 30 second wait in between annoying. have you heard of filefront way easier.

[Eromereorybig]

I saw a white one stuck at traffic lights the other week. Gorgeous car. Had the side lights on aswell, which gave it that other world look. They're still selling at a premium of £20k or so apparently.

Oh I love this car so much, good job gettings pics [thumbup]. I doubt I'll ever be able to afford one, but it's nice to dream...

Edit:

No kidding, those security images have always annoyed me but this is getting ridiculous!

Just because he has a nice car, doesn't mean he can park like a tit. [thumbdown]

For some reason I've got connection issues with filefront and the site I normally upload large images to, Freeimagehosting, is coming up with errors, So rapidshare is my only current option.

I think your mistaken about the R8, Especially this one in the picture, the R8 Quattro, because last time I checked (this afternoon, actually)
they were selling for £76K & another £10K for all the Options.

Actually, I think he parked in the best place possible.
They've extended the carpark in the last few months and even today, there were probably about 200+ free parking spaces, and obviously with a near £100K car your not gonna want some **** to open his door into the side of your new sportscar, so its only right that you'd park outta the way, away from all the other "idiots", I certainly would had I been driving that , and not my crappy Pug 306.
His car wasn't causing an obstruction either, if thats what you were insinuating.

The guy was pleasant enough to answer a couple of quick questions, Although he did get one thing wrong, And that was as I'd originally approached from the drivers front side in order to take the photo's, I hadn't seen the rear of the car and mistakingly believed the car was the RS8, He pointed out that his car was the R8 and that he didn't believe that there was an car out by Audi called the RS8, but knew that Audi were developing a V10 version of the model and may call it the RS8.

He was wrong because I've already seen an RS8 on the roads, because I followed it for several miles whilst going home from work one morning last week, It was definitely an RS8 , and not an R8, because I got close enough up its @rse, to read the model number, much to the chagrin of the driver.

According to google though, the RS8 is not due to be launched until 2009, So maybe it was a early test model, as several manufacturers enjoy testing prototypes on welsh roads because of all our twisty bends.

I love Audi's and the R8 is one of the nicest looking cars on the road at the moment, though I dont think I'll ever be lucky enough to own one in my lifetime I'll just have to make do with my A4

lol...its highly unlikely I'll ever own an A4, let alone an R8. [no]

[VQdeochratis]

His insurance costs more than my entire Audi Coupe Quattro. Went to Cardiff Audi and there were about 4 R8s down there, incredible looking when you see them out.

They want £99k for the car in your second link, which is a premium of about 20k. Autotrader has plenty of people asking for £100k for their R8's too. I don't know what the optional extras cost and the 2nd hand market may have cooled somewhat now that demand is being met, but for the first few months you could easily sell one for 20k more than you bought it.

[SHpuntik]

Sorry to say... Audis to me will always = VW in disguise... Although the R8 is nice.. I just can't get over how much I dislike Audi... Thats a nice car tho.

I was going to say the same thing, but you beat me to it.

Rather a strange remark although you are entitled your own opinion, have you ever driven one?

Sorry! I misread your post, thinking you were saying that the R8 was selling at £20K AND not selling at an additional £20K above the purchase price.

My mistake, I'm blind.[surrender]

[Thomas12400]

they are gorgeous in real life, so much better than any picture can show.

JA its between the lines. No?

[NutChusty]

Yes and they are good cars especially th RS series... Very well built these days. But because of the bad history and experiences (My father owned 2 VWs and 1 audi) everytime I hear Audi or VW.. I get flash backs and cringe.

[Michael-jeckson2]

Awesome pics man, and great car too!!!

[EsAllCams]

i dont like the look of this car. dont get me wrong its a great looking car but i dont know there is something about this car that would turn my head but i wouldnt be crazy about going and taking a very close look at it. again that doesnt mean its not a great car, which it is. but just i am not that crazy about this audi especially for the price..

Well I was impressed enough to want to take a photo.
But I guess thats cos I drive a £800 car with 170K on it. [rofl]
