(drool) It appears there's a new "supercar" in the neighborhood. Audi R8. I've now seen "her" three times passing the house.

Now that I look, it's does resemble the Bugatti a little. As for being a "lucky devil", that would be true if I owned the Audi!

I also caught a glimpse of one of these while I was out today. I was pulling out of an intersection, and out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the vibrant colors, and didn't pay too much notice as I thought "rice". But as I passed, I caught a better glimpse;

Jay has one!!!

I've seen several and actually ran into an Audi engineer testing one out in Westlake Village earlier this summer. Audi builds some of the best cars in the business, I might be considering the new S4 later on, it will have a Supercharged V6 with over 300bhp but I'm sure it's going to come at a price.

My Dad owned a A6 Quattro with the V8. What a nice car. Unfortunately it developed a radiator leak, and in order to fix it, THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REMOVED! :eek: I was unfortunate as the car really performed exceptionally, but removing the engine for such a minor problem is ridiculous.

Consequently, he traded it for a Merc' E350.

Dang, Moose. You sure have some nice rides in your neck of the woods. Think I'll have to take a stroll out that way! Make it winter....snow on the ground...roads are nice and dry....tires are warm....and that crisp cold air just making the SS want to GO that much faster.... It would be nice.

Love both of those pix. and DerScotsman, Westlake Village? Is that by the auto mall just outside Thousand Oaks?...right off the 101?

Ah yes "The Rat" as me and my cousin affectionatly call it (since R and 8 pronunced as a word in Swedish is the same word as the word for "the rat"). It is very nice. But like all Audis it costs a bit :/

If you ever decide to head up this way, you'd better let me know. There are ALOT of better places to visit, but there is a lot of cool things to do here. You can visit Phila. (ehh) or N.Y., there are plenty of places to ski within a couple of hrs. drive, the backroads are great to cruise in the SS, there's alot of "history" here, (every Christmas morning you can take a 5 minute ride to the Delaware river to watch the reenactment of Washington crossing the Delaware. ). And we could "visit" the homes I know of where the "really nice" cars reside.

We get a quite a few of these around Boston (AWD makes big difference)... Bentley Continental GT.

Yes sir!!! It's borderline to be more precise, once you cross Westlake Blvd. you're in T.O.
