    Cool R8 in UK

    Seen on Fourtitude ... there is an R8 in Milton Keynes ... needless to say with nothing to do today and the day off ... I'm off to find it and take some pictures and ask a few questions ... all will be revealed later ... in the mean time ... click here

    Re: R8 in UK

    Having taken the precaution of a phone call to the showroom before I set off ... it turns out the R8 is no longer at Blakelands ... unfortunately I'm now waiting on a call back from someone who might know where it has gone!!!

    I'll keep you posted ... if, or rather more accurately and hopefully ... when I get some more news ... at this rate I'll need to take a trip to a petrol station and fill up the RS4 before setting off.

    Bye for now ...

    ARGH!

    Well ... thanks to the guy who posted the pictures of the R8 displayed in Milton Keynes ... it's always nice to see new photos of the R8 ... especially with different colour and trim options ... however, it turns out that as Milton Keynes is home to Audi UK HQ they were fortunate enough to have the car available for a 'staff' reveal for around five hours.

    This car is one of around three cars doing the rounds in Europe ... to the best of my knowledge it is now destined to go to Manchester for the invitation only event being held there on Sunday ... it will then make the trip to London where it will be readied for the London event next Thursday ... from there is is likely to end up in an Audi location in London where 'genuine customers' ... for example those with holding deposits already down ... will hopefully be able to arrange a viewing.

    Looks like I'll be saving myself some petrol then and not tearing up the motorways to Milton Keynes after all ... gutted ... ... I was sooooo looking forward to seeing an R8 up close and personal as it were ...

    The car is being readied for the Audi invitation event in Manchester ... which seems to be tomorrow not Sunday.

    From there it will end up in London for the Audi invitation event there ... which is on Thursday.

    That leaves four days where ... to the best of my knowledge ... it's not due to appear anywhere during those four days.

    Audi are ... not surprisingly keeping ... the car fairly well covered up. Events such as those in Manchester and London being ... more or less... the only places where 'invited guests' will get to see the car.
