    New member just bought R8

    Hi, i'm new to this forum based in GB.

    Have just bought a 2007 R8 in Daytona Grey with Nav, Bluetooth Phone, Mag Ride, Tracker, Auto Dimming Mirrors, and 6CD Changer. I pick it up on Friday and am so excited I really can't contain myself, this is really going to be the longest week of my life.

    Must agree of course

    The celebrity comment is spot on - the attention I get wherever I go is incredible (surely can't be the car so it must be me)

    Enjoy the car - you'll love it

    Hi - there's a few of us on here, but not a massive amount. We all seem to be regular contributors, and it's good to have another GB owner who can provide input. You are going to love the car my friend. Mine is a dream. Difficult to explain what the feeling is like until you actually drive the thing on a regular basis. I've been on phone camera's and videos. Even had people stop me at a petrol station and ask to take a picture of them next to the car! The best was a little lad who was taking pics of it on his phone when I arrived back to the car after shopping. I offered him to sit in the car while I took a picture of him on his phone. He was really chuffed and said that his mates were going to be so jealous! Apart from the extreme cases like that (which you will get), be ready for plenty of 'rubbernecks' and 'double takes' from people on the street and in other cars. You also get a lot of pointing too! (It's great!!)

    But the main thing is just enjoy the drive - it is truly superb. The attention is just an added bonus.

    Rich

    Blimey. Expected it to get some attention, but not to that extent
