Hello from Portugal

[gaiex]

Hi all, just decided to do a little presentation on my car.

I decided not to wait for an new R8, and went to germany to buy a semi-new one. The worst part was choosing one from the many for sale and the flotoating prices (some used cars cost more than the new ones! )
The almost perfect candidate appeared after one month looking on the car add places.

The only thing I would change on the car was the black seats for some mustang brown like the ones I have on my A6...

Welcome!!! why did you decide to change seat color? isn't it going to be $$$$ and will the other stuff follow? (i have black interior and grey stitching so don't know what follows the leather color. Resonate has brown stitching on some parts.)

I didn't change the leather, I was saying, if I bougth new, I wouldn't buy in all black!
Maybe in the future I will change it if I get bothered with the black.

Heh. I get the same thing. I live in a city where their are no exotics and I drive this thing daily. It gets more looks than anything I've ever experienced.

Even driving in Monaco the R8 gets stares...
