    I might be back in the R8 ring!

    After selling my R8 V8 not too long ago ... I am reconsidering getting another R8, the V10 this time.

    I've been on the market trying to find a 2 door sports car and test drove a few but I've been just turning around the bush: R8.

    Not sure yet if I will buy one of a dealer's lot or order one from Audi. Anything to look for with the V10: changes from earlier to later builts? Anything worthy to know in general?

    ps: Hope everybody's still around: Hary, Mother Tucker, Outsider, MnGolfer, LondonLad, etc ... (and Davey?)

    Welcome back, please don't say the "D" word.

    Why not get a TT or SC V8? Better handling and equal power ya?

    Thanks guys. Ok, no more "D" word.

    TT, SC = dedication, time, etc ... don't have any now.

    I am looking for a V10 now somewhere in the country. Don't want to order one.
