Not a problem.... I am afraid at times the written word can be misinterpreted and that is why I try to use the emoticons, hence the wink at the end. I am sorry that my wording caused a misunderstanding, it was not intended.

Theres 4 of these
R8 4.2FSi, which we have
R8 TDi, which is on the cards. Audi have been placing in Le-Mans for a few years with the R10 race car
R8 (R10) 5.0L V10 from the Guiardo
R8 (R12) W12 6.0L from the Pheaton. They are alledgedly sitting on this as they are worried about its affect on the other two cars (Guiardo/Veryon) although I dont thing the Veyron has anything to worry about.

Theres now a fourth too:


VW are resurecting their version of the chassis.
I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

Things sure get heated on the message boards...
This thread has gone from drooling over a new supercar ( yes its fab but I will never afford one) to slagging off hybrids, to having personal attacks on contributors to the thread.

Is this off-road rage or what ?  :-k

I wish we could stick to the subject a little more without getting too personal.

My opinion of the Audi ? The same as it is about any of these super-cars ... I wish I could afford one !
The few who are given one as a company car and only have to pay a fraction of the true cost are lucky....

 I reckon that in years to come the second hand market will be flooded with stuff like this and the then privately owned ones will be worth next to nowt because of the running costs.

Just look at the price of old Bentleys and Rollers. We can all afford to buy one, but the running costs are rediculous !

What credit crunch ? I started with nothing and still have most of it left !
