Hi Guys
I know I haven't been around for quite a while.....lot's of work etc.

Anyway my R8 has been sleeping during bad weather and winter period, finally nice weather since several days.....conclusion, let's fire up the engine and drive around the lake of como, with some friend........

We had a nice stop on the road and a good coffee, after this I went back to my car and we left town, immediately i realized that something is wrong, and I gave light signal to my friend in front of me. The car felt like driving on ice.
We stopped at a bus stop and checked the tires, nothing, I know there is a pressure indicator, but I don't trust all the technic, nothing.......ok back in the car and after, maybe 10m, boom.........

The good thing I was only about 3 to 5 km/H driving that is also why the car stopped within 2 to 3 meters.

If this would have happened at higher speed....wow, i don't care really about myself, because if you drive fast you must keep in mind that something could happen......but if i imagine that this whole part ( tire, rim , disk, mount, shock absorber, brake caliper ) would be ripped of my car and hit another vehicle.............

To is sunday....great weather .....all cars are packed with kid's, wife's , dog's etc........

I was luck that nothing happened to some other people........

the cause a simple screw is broken.........


My car has 6500km on the clock............go and have your cars checked........


Anyway even if my R8 V10 should arrive very soon ............. i don't know anymore......no more faith.........I don't know if I should even take it back or leave it there until the V10 is in, if I still take a V10.......

The good thing , low speed ...............that's why the damage is not to big, anyway the car has still warranty.

I have send a MMS to the sales director Audi Switzerland, as I have a meeting with him anyway on Tuesday, Audi Switzerland will send a immediately alert message to Audi Germany.
