What a gR8 day! :) My meet with the AUDI R8

So here is my story.
Today me and a friend decided to go to the Audi centre to check out the new A4. When we arrived, this is what we saw at first...


Just breattaking and amazing... I mean everybody who came in, just stopped and starred...
Then, we went further on and so pretty much all of Audis cars..except the new A4, that wasn't there.

So we went further in to the used/ready for delivery cars and while watching some used RS4 and also brand new S8s and S5s ready for delivery, there was a roar... We both look in the back of the building and there was a red R8 on it's way out. We quickly went over there, and it was a lady moving the a car that was standing in front of the R8, and she had to move it. So when she looked at us, drooling like two maniacs, she said "don't worry boys, I'll be back again". Then after she parked the car outside, we saw that it was ready for delivery. It was freakin' beautiful.






Then, when she came back after moving the other cars, I said:
"Could I please just ride with you when you drive this baby in? Please...it would be a christmas present for me"
Then she said.."But it's only 30 m..."
And I said.. "Yes, I know...but I want to feel it and sit inside it and hear the endine".
Then she smiled and let me inside...
And my friend filmed it all with his mobile


And I also got a memory pic



Then, on our way home..we saw an silver R8 in town!! It was freakin' beautiful. I also recorded this with my mobile. And here is the funny thing. I got so stunned when I saw the R8, I just stopped in the middle of a walking road, and starting to film, and you hear a lady getting pissed off at me and screaming "god damnit drive!!!" When the R8 passes me by, I say "Phat ride" to the driver, and then he floors it for me... And all of the pedestrians just stopped and stared... young, old, black, white, yellow..everybody!!!


The R8 must be one of the greatest cars ever... And Im glad I had a chance to meet it today

Nice! I saw 2 R8s and an S5 today. Bad ass machines. Too bad you didn't get to do more.

nice story
So, what a great dealer in Sweden, no? Beautiful cars together...
I think that is a beautiful color, but no one would choose that case buy a my R8.

Bye

It looks like you almost don't fit inside that R8, or was it because the seat was in a weird position?
