    Pics of My New R8

    My wife and I picked up our 09 R8 last Saturday. It's a blast to drive and we both are really enjoying it! It's a manual with all options minus the alcantara headliner and leather dash. My wife and I took pics of the car this afternoon at my parents place. We have quite a security system for the car, you'll see what I mean in the pics, lol. Here's the link my wife put up on her Facebook account:

    Congrats..Really nice fit out.Red has really grown for me as a choice colour.

    Am I correct in thinking they are the chrome wheel option as opposed to polished.

    Re: Pics of My New R8

    Thanks for the comments everyone. To answer a few of the questions above:

    SFR8 - The wife does know how to drive stick but she is afraid of the power, lol. She took it out yesterday and did pretty well. I think a lot of it is mental for her b/c she is used to driving my 180hp TT, and the R8 is a totally different beast.

    R84ME - I wish I could take our dog Kady around with us in the R8, that would be awesome!

    Gazza1 - The wheels are the 19" polished alloy option from the factory.

    Russman - I live in Orlando, FL. The pollen here is TERRIBLE right now. Within 4 hours of washing my car on Saturday I had a full coat of pollen covering the car giving it a yellow tint.

    Thanks, she's definitely mans best friend, lol.

    I'm having Venture Shield applied to the full hood, bumper, headlights, and side mirrors on Saturday. I'll take some pics of the process and the final result. The guy that's doing it is supposed to be one of the best in the business, hopefully it turns out well. He's done a silver R8, and from the pics I saw it looked perfect.

    I've gotta work on getting the front Audi badge off this week before the Venture Shield is applied. I'm going to try the hair dryer and fishing line trick. Hopefully it will come off easily.
