Test drove both the V8 and V10 B2B.....yes quick but woefully clinical WRT feedback. Also, and I know this will sound rich coming from a Range Rover owner, but the build quality was awful, in both. The bit of perspex (or whatever it is) between you and the engine, rattled and shook beyond belief.....when I mentioned it in the first car (the V the salesman told me it was a rogue item.......guess what, drove the V10, did exactly the same.

Wasn't my cup of tea anyway. L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

RRS S/C factory built HST - Gone

45 others have been and gone!

My wife always fancied an R8 - sadly not affordable but was thinking of hiring one for her birthday - I love the look & sound of R8.

build quality - For £100k I would have expected it to be perfect  Paul

I only looked at the interior of the grey V10 Spyder from the outside so can't comment on the quality but only on looks and think it was Didn't have the courage to sit in it for a closer look and feel in case they started asking questions to judge my affordability

A 911 (or 997 to be more precise ) The exact car I went and test drove straight after the R8

All audi's are over priced, i was very tempted to get an RS3 but just couldn't see the 45k price tag in a tarted up A3 although they are coming down in price now which might tempt me back again.

Just think of the fun YOU could have in it if you bought her one though.

I do, believe me , but the 'beancounter' in me says run the Fiat for one more year (by which time I then believe it will fall into a pile of metal and bolts) and get an 18 month old RS3 one then  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
