You'll never guess what i saw coming off my estate near west bromwich, (great bridge) wednesday?

Either their is some lucky bugger about, or top gear must be recording round here lol

The Boss of Falcon automotive (Milltex exhausts) has one. He has already changed the exhaust system twice, we made the turbo flanges for it. The lastest exhaust gave it 20 bhp more than standard.
He did a track day at Donnington in it, He said the most supprising thing was the brakes, said he could feel his eyes falling out under extreme braking
Nice car

We chased Amir Khan's R8 into Manchester a few months ago. He wasn't driving, just some chavvy mates he "lent" it to. Very, very fast car, even in the hands of an inept, bungling fool. Bet it cost a fair few quid to repair after they crashed it!

Hehehehehehehe!

Saw one in New York a couple of weeks ago, looked v

However, the new Audi R6 looks interesting - an estate with the 570hp Lambo lump in it!!!!

The audi garage near my work has a black one and a b aby blue one. They make no noise when on test drives though

We also have gray paul of nottingham around the corner and we are on their test drive route aswell. So we get to see almost every type of exotica you can imagine daily.
