Hi, James from Leeds, UK. I'm 35 and an IT Project Manager for an oil company. Picked up my 2009 V8 Coupe last Friday, just in time for a weekend of snow and ice to spoil my fun. Still, so far I am loving it and am really looking forward to getting some good road trips in once the weather starts to warm up a bit.

Hi all, I am Stuart and I am an Mechanical Engineer up near Aberdeen in Scotland. I will be 40 towards the end of the year.

I've not got an R8 yet but thought I would lurk about here to see what info I can find before buying one.

Dean, and as the member ID indicates, a lawyer. I have been doing so for over 25 years. **** that's starting to sound like a long time.

I joined the forum on my 49th birthday! I have always enjoyed driving cool cars. Lately I've taken to collecting them as well. If you're ever in the Philadelphia area feel free to look me up. www.myphillylawyer.com.

I'm looking forward to sharing experiences with other forum members. This place seems to be a haven for people who appreciate awesome cars.

Hello Everyone, my name is Pany, I am 20, working for my fathers international recruitment company. I have not got an R8, but currently own a MY11 ibis S3 which is my pride and joy. I have been browsing the forum for a few months now and have found it tremendously useful. Hopefully after a bit more research and a few years I can rank up to owning an R8!

Pany.

39, in the dental field, just traded in a 2007 997tt for a 2012 V8R8. My brother works for the local audi dealership, so after I bought my wife an S4 last summer, he convinced me to trade in my turbo as my warranty was about to run out. I have been thrilled with it so far, doesn't have the oomph of the turbo, but is a lot of fun to drive. Looking forward to doing some laps in the spring time.

38, James from Toronto. I am a sales rep for for a large US-based technology company whose name is included somewhere inside the letters of "San Francisco". Seeing all the members from Palo Alto, Los Gatos, and San Jose on here, I am guessing I am not the only employee of said company on the Board!
