    Newbie saying Hi

    Hi,
    A bit of a belated introduction from me.
    After ordering mine in Jan 06 with the intention of selling on, I finally took collection on the 10th Nov (early b'day present!), but I've totally fallen in love and am now trying everything I can to make the finances balance (selling kids/wife etc) so I can keep her! Aaaggghhhhhh!
    Have got a buyer lined up through Romans International if it all goes to the wall in the next few weeks
    My spec is:
    R-Tronic, Ice Silver/Carbon Sigma blades, Black leather/carpets/Alcantara headlining, Mag Ride, Sat Nav+, B+O, Carbon Inlay Pack, Electric/Heated Seats, Accoustic Parking, Auto Mirrors/Lights/Wipers, Multi CD, Cruise, Homelink.
    Will keep you updated................

    Gorgeous!! You can't sell that. Your going to have to sell off the family, or the house. Live in the car!! and get a tent for the family.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your kind comments!
    Not got carbon in the engine bay on mine, but love it on the interior (little touches, like the way it turns from shiney c.f. to matt at the top of the monoposto, to reduce windscreen glare)
    Still trying to get a good price on Camels/£Stg for the mother-in-law!!
    Best bit is, the wife loves it too and is happy to keep it.
    Will probably end up selling my recently bought MKII TT runaround to settle the books, so things aren't looking too bad - just got to get something to leave at the train station now as I wouldn't be happy leaving the R8!!!!
    Cheers.
    Paul.
