get off your arse and ask them already. this thread has been going on 4 weeks now and still no action. I would suggest that if you are under 35 then it will take some serious convincing to make it happen. but just use your balls and ask. they are not going to punch you out. the worst they can do is say "f**k off".

Well very funny you say that Beer Baron! I have been away for the new year etc etc... and am quite lazy

I had a discussion with the lovely gentleman from Audi... He actually didn't really seem to pick me as a tyre kicker or anything he was more than happy to help out...

However, just to really put a dampener on things the guy said that the only test vehicle anywhere near Australia is in NZ at the moment!!! Which makes it kind of hard to get to from Vic :O

Farrrrk!!!!!

I did manage to get a full tour of a left hand drive one though!!! Absolutely wicked car everything is just right (Was the clutchless manual:( though much prefer the real deal)

Bang & Olufsen stereo... who would need one of those with that awesome sounding engine?

Ohh well onto bigger and better things I guess... anyone know where I can find an Enzo ;) (Joke)

Nope, I did get his card though as I dropped the line I might need something for the wife and kids... RS4 anyone?

Oh well nothing ventured nothing gained I guess, totally worth giving it a crack though :P

Thanks for all the input but don't end the thread as I'm finding the ideas very amusing :thumbsup: some awsome ideas for a sunday arvo!!!

I dont know why you want to test drive the R8??? it doesnt even get any more power than the RS4, not to mention the extra cost which is astronomical. The chassis is no doubt nicer, but i can assure you that the RS4 has more than enough ability to have fun anywhere you want. And yes, i have driven an RS4 on a regular basis

*it's 100kg lighter

*it has better weight distribution

*it's a sexy coupe rather than a family-spec 4 door

and it also features

*bigger brakes F&R

*much better interior

*dry sumped engine for lower centre of gravity and absolute piece of mind on track days

*better inlet and exhaust for faster revving

*much more sporting dynamics due to MR design

*aluminium alloy construction

since an NSX cost ~$245K when it was last on sale, does $269K sound unreasonable to you for a car also made from aluminium, but much more modern, with much higher power and more cylinders?

to be honest, the R8 does not appeal to me at all.... I drive an RS4 and could not see me forking out the extra $100k+ for the R8. $259k is for car only. They are closer to $300k once on the road. You could probably bargain them down closer to $280 but its alot more than an RS4....

I do admit, it would probably make an awesome track car, but how often do you honestly see anybody who buys an R8 putting it on a track?

lol i dont even know wat a rs8 is except that its a audi n can be brought with monopoly money lol. some1 chuck up a pic plz thank!

audi-r8-front-end-big.jpg

the RS8 should pretty much look the same, but will be powered by a heavily modified version of the 5.2L Audi V10 (might even end up closer to 5.5L)

Yes....

and for the love of god, how the hell do you begine to draw comparision between a RS4 and a R8 ??????

Exactly my thoughts. It's like people comparing the RB26 powered GTR's to the new GTR, they are completely different cars and worlds apart.

    • Thanks guys! Some pics attached 😋
    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy     
    • I tried to get in contact before I went to QLD you didn’t respond, then I tried to contact you in r31 club.  I thought you fell off the earth or something haha.  I will grab it off you but unknown when I will be up that way 
    • I think that might be in the question. He is going very low, and I think the standard GTR ones are simple tripod joints (like the rear NA/S chassis ones), not proper CVs (like R chassis turbo/GTR ones). Proper CVs take the misalignment better than tripods.
