    My new R8!!!

    I took the plunge and purchased a spyder on Tuesday. It is a V10/Black/Black Manual. I havn't pushed it yet but the engine is amazing. I am trying to follow the break in rules, but I think it will be very difficult. I am coming from a E60 M5 and two previous M3's. Anybody have ideas on where to put the golf clubs?

    Instead of driving a little ball, drive your Spyder!

    First off... that car looks fantastic. Bad to the bone good. Love the wheels and the black.

    Secondly... I thought there was room behind the seat for 2 carry bags. Not with the spider?

    Thirdy... Nice clubs but the new Ping Anser forged would look better in that bag than the i5 irons.

    What is this "Golf" that you fellows speak of? I see this subject arise from time to time...

    Thank You all for the reponses. Yes the ledge in the back of the coupe is gone for the top on the spyder. The i5's have done me well. Don't want to change yet. I did get the new R11 Driver. So far so good with that thing!

    The bulkhead had been moved forward in the Spyder to make way for the compartment for the hood so no shelf as in the Coupe.

    It sure is nice to just "take the plunge" on a exotic, lol.
    GREAT LOOKING CAR nonetheless, great pics/shots, and welcome...tiger woods : )
