Picked up a new daily driver...R8

The work commute has been a lot more fun the last 3 months

Picked up a R8 4.2, black/black, all carbon options possible including side blade and full engine bay, manual gearbox. Wanted the 4.2 simply because I know the engine will take the abuse of the high miles I intend to pile on (A6 4.2 I had did 267k miles and my last A8L did 138k miles before nanny's son totalled it in March ) Put 6k miles on it so far and its been a treat. All the creature comforts in a responsive, tractable ride and all weather capability. LOVE IT !!!

I have always wanted to here DD experiences with the R8 on normal road conditions. I look forward to this being a high mileage car!
