New R8 !!!!!

[FredBMOC]

Dealer sent me a camera phone picture of my new R8 being unwrapped. She looks gorgeous!
Tomorrow my wife and I go on a road trip to get our new ride; I'm glad the car finally came in: 5 days not sleeping well is long enough for me

Congratulations. Who gets to drive it home?

Congrats.

I saw a V10 Coupe today at my local local dealer in Melbourne.

Beautiful and congrats! Make sure when they detail the car they get all the glue off from the blue tape. My M3 was detailed at night when I bought it and they overlooked some adhesive that was stuck and it became a pain to clean off later.

[FredBMOC]

Bingo! You got to see it before I did

Boy is this a small world!

How did it look?

Exactly! My wife always wants to drive the fun cars!
I'll suggest we arm wrestle for the privilege

Congratulations. Who gets to drive it home?

[FredBMOC]

Thanks fir the advice! I actually asked them not to go crazy with the cleaning; I'm driving it back home and straight to a detailer and then clear bra install; maybe some window tint as well.

I was in for some minor repairs on my new R8 when the truck came in and this beautiful V10 Coupe came off. I didnt know it was sold. I looked at it for a long while and wondered if I should have gotten the Coupe.

The engine view is outstanding.

When I was talking to Hans you and he were texting. He told me he was texting with the new owner of the car we were looking at!!

Bet you are excited!

You are buying from a very professional dealership. They have sold 6 R8's in the past 30 days. They have top notch service and the owner Shay Roe is on the premises and available if needed.

Good luck with your purchase. Wait till you see it.

Don,
Thanks for the on-site report! I literally can't wait to go pick up the R8! Tomorrow can't arrive soon enough!!
I must confess I keep wondering the reverse of what you just did and keep thinking If I shouldn't have gone for the Spyder LOL I must have looked at a thousand pictures of different colors, rims, spyders and coupes but I am happy with my decision and now is time to pick up the car and go have some fun!
Thanks also for the feedback about Audi of Melbourne; I feel fortunate to have found them even though they are a bit far from me. Hans has been great to deal with, the best really and has helped me every step of the way; he even offered to drive my car down to me if I wanted to, I politely declined
Look forward to exchanging some more words with you in the future and perhaps organizing a get together for Audis somewhere around south/central Florida?
