Spaceman Spiff,
Enjoy the Audi R8! They're very nice-looking cars, with excellent performance and great reliability.
As for me, I'll stick with my 2013 BMW 335i convertible and the 2007 Aston Martin Vantage V8 (with manual 6-speed) that I bought last year. These are both wonderful cars, although very different in a number of respects.
If you'd like to see my photo-laden touring articles with both cars, check out my new website at
