Shipping R8 Spyder V10 abroad for some summer fun
Hello All,
I have had the car for close to 2 years now. I live in the UK, central London, so coupled with the lack of time and lack of sunshine i don’t get to use the car much! (Sad to say it’s just done 2,500 miles in that time!)
Well, i got bored of this fact, so today i placed it in a ship container and tomorrow it sets sail for the sunny island of Cyprus (in the med). Should arrive within 2 weeks!
I thought i would post up pictures and maybe videos of the car and trips with some basic reviews, if people are interested….
I am excited, as it’s been a dream for me to take a proper sports car abroad for some real summer driving.
Cyprus has excellent roads, with 90% of them being comparatively quite new. Excellent mountain roads/passes, tunnels, nice long motorway straights etc… basically its what these cars where designed for!!
Below is the car when I drove it into the container. ( those two guys work at the forwarding company.)
….And this is the money shot! The moment when I held my breath until it was lifted saftley……
If anyone has any questions etc. please ask away!
