There must be a dozen or so around the country now... there's at least 3-4 demonstrators that I know of.... nice car for sure, but strangely doesn't float my boat.

I have one parked at my work parking space 3-4 times a week for the past few months already and some guy recently starts parking his white r8 in the morning for a while outside of work.

A black one eh. Very nice machine.

I think I'm in the wrong industry though; should have gotten into real-estate or insurance broking, judging by the vehicles they drive!

Went to Audi Newmarket to grab some trim clipper for A3 and I thought I should jump in the R8 demo. I loved the feel of it. I think I'd choose that over a Gallardo any day. Absolutely stunning.
Saw a brand new one driven by some guy working there. He was taking it from workshop to showroom. Stil had the R8 plate on the front.....SUPERB
