    R8 is a movie star...again

    Last night my wife dragged me to see the movie "date night" as penance for taking my car to the track May 1st and 2nd. About 1/2 way through the movie there appears an Ice Silver, CF side blade V8 R8. I have never seen a movie with so many R8 scenes. They went on for over five minutes. The R8 looked great. The star of the movie could not shift worth a ****. The star stole the R8 and proceeded to ... Oh wait. Why spoil it for those that want to take their spouses to see the movie?

    It was a funny movie, but more of a chick flick.

    Great news MN! I saw it in the trailer, but wasn't sure if there was any significant screen time...

    We're told Iron Man II will have the V10 Spyder in it. Our salesman tell us he snagged some promo stuff for us!

    There were several early pictures of the spyder from the filming of Iron Man II that were linked on this forum last year.

    I wonder if this is the same car being used in these movies?

    Iron Man, 17 Again, Date Night and now The Joneses. Same color and sideblades in all of these films although it is a popular color though. Choice, people pick something besides silver already!

    It could not be the same car. If you see the movie you will know why.

    Re: R8 is a movie star...again

    Speaking of movies.. a friend called me today, telling me he saw a documentary yesterday about how R8 is made. He was not sure, but he said it was shown on the discovery ch. After watching this doc., he said if he ever owns an audi again, it's gonna be R8

    Anyone familiar with it? I would like to download it from the net if it's available.

    R84ME added a link to the National Geographic program that went inside the factory. This is the only show I can think of...
