I think Barmy has an R8, bloody hell, sly ole dog!  Next it'll be Notty turning up to Froudys place in a Ferrari or Kwak H2!

We have the entire Audi range at work, there's normally a couple of R8's. They don't get the attention the GT2-RS gets but they are still something special!

I know to another that recently had the carbon fibre rear under tray damaged.
The genuine factory part delivered and installed was a similar price, or slightly more than I paid for my new Hilux !

I've complianced a lot of Audi's, never took much notice before but they are quite nice. As I've said before I'd love an SQ7 or the 600hp RS6, not as special as an R8 but more stealthy and easier to live with.

A couple of years ago about 25 R8's were travelling the same motorway as us heading south through Italy.
It was quite wet and cloudy but as they came past they sounded fantastic .
you could hear them catching up in the gloom.
I was hoping we'd see them again as that was the only wet day I think it would have been some sight in the sunshine.

We had a couple of M88's come through recently.

Not quite as nimble as an R8, but at just over US$2,000,000 each they still go OK....

sort of a different slant on yank tank. hate to be an audi parked in front of it.

[Cykik]

Not bikes/cars or boats but for me the best engine noise..

The local Rolls Royce place had a spitfire the apprentices looked after it used to sound amazing when it flew over the junior school .

Theres a guy lives around milton keynes got an r8 and loves racing bikes when i had my gsxr750 l1 we had a very intresting 15mile juant which had me hitting the limiter in top a few times then we got on the dual carriage way
I was on the limiter in top he pulled up beside me gave the thumbs up and just floored it they are very very quick
We live near silverstone and quite often have the hurricane spitfire and lancasters fly over the house the merlin is very special makes the hair on your neck stand up i love the sound 

[froudy]

Both the R8 and the Spitfires make the hairs on my arms stand on end...What a sound!!

A tank rescue vehicle that's battlefield ready.
Worth it when you see how much a tank costs and how well these things can pull them out when things go wrong. Amazing bits of kit the A2's. 


"The M88A2 has upgraded armor protection including armored track skirts and applique armor panels, which both previous models lack. The M88 is also lacking in Nuclear, Biological, Chemical (NBC) defenses and a smoke screen generator, which the later M88A1 and M88A2 models are equipped with. All variants retain an M2 Browning .50 caliber machine gun, 432 mm ground clearance, 2.6 m fording depth, 1.1 m wall climb and 2.6 m trench crossing capabilities. 70 tons / 1050hp "


We had 2 go through the port, but I think the order was for 4 or 6 in total.

Oh that's OK - I thought you were talking about an Audi still

I did post a pic up of the M88 but I didn't realise you couldn't see pics at work... 

Somewhere between 7 and $800,000 is our most expensive cat at the moment. A kitted up GT2-RS with a lot of high spec options.
