Spyder spec & price confirmation

[London Lad]

I had a deposit down on a California for a good while but it didn't do it for me when I saw it in the flesh so I cancelled. It did drive well though.

Mr Monk, I think you may be the first here to get a Spyder. Any ETA? You KNOW pictures are needed.

Dont you worry, i will be down with my camera as soon as it arrives at the dealership, ETA late March, in first production batch for UK, i was worried the exclusive leather would hold it up but Audi advise me nearly all customers are having them specked highly individually & as they are hand built it should not delay, we will see though, forum members coming on the Euro trip will see it in the flesh.

Morning, here is he thread for Alpine road trip 2010

Alpine Road Trip 2010

Hopefully a dozen or more R8's making history with epic driving, great hotels & good company, all with Audis sponsorship for the Audi channel if they buy into it! MikeB is onto it but any pull at Audi welcomed!

Agreed, the DSG in the California is excellent, I hear they have made the 458 Italia version a little more 'mechanical' in feel through software which sounds like a good thing...

Ah, in the UK. Don't think I can fly my car there

We are enquiring with Audi for rental rates. Discounted hopefully. Where are you based?
