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.

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
