Getting A Drive In An R8

[Haysey]

i have a mate that is a salesman at an Audi dealer in sydney, he didnt say anything when i was doing ridiculous speeds in an audi tt recently so ill ask him about test driving an R8 if you wish...

[Sheriff Wan]

That would be awesome if I was in NSW but im in VIC

If I break it then tough luck, thats what their insurance covers!

I really don't think they can ask for your finances... unless your willing to give it to them.

What about all the guys who don't have credit cards i.e. drug dealers etc I'll stick with that... I'll tell him I'll have him whacked if he doesn't cooperate!

Nexus 9 I think you have it down pat! I think you may have had a bit of work to get the M3 drive yes?

PS Love that model M3 and thought about buying one but I cant let my line go yet...

No not really ... but I had background purchase history with the BMW Dealer beforehand

PS Thank you, I like it too ... ain't no R8 though

sorta on topic... there are always rich pricks cars at the back of the place i work at, usually bentley continentals and stuff like that. but when a black r8 rocked up the other day, god damn they are beautiful cars - plus the speedo goes to 350 lol. its makes me happy just seeing cars like that (fortunately its a weekly occurence)

Um, dont bother.

Get a drive/ride of the new GT3. Its way better.

Yes ive been in both the R8 and the GT3 (cheers james) and the GT3 wins hands down.

Working in a dealership with more than its ample share of exotics ( including the R8 ), all i can say is best of luck with that test drive, especially unsupervised.

Ever driven a boxter Sheriff Wan?

i have, there pieces of shit mate. my uncle went out and bought one about 2 years ago after 2 weeks he traded it for a 911 turbo 2004 model.

he said that driving a boxter was like driving his sons barina lol

i hate boxters unless they have a fine lady driving them

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

Get a note from your mum

[Guest trikdoutvl]

just read this thread hella funny. i got a idea

rite out a check for half a million or wateva the cars worth, n show em the check n say u wanna test drive..........

Another good idea... ring up and say ur from the make a wish foundation and say uve got some1 dying whois last wish is to drive a audi R8

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Don't really think they'd let you drive off in an R8 because you showed them a cheque......

[ido09s]

you have no chance!!!

The reason Audi ask for your credit card is to actually show them you are going to buy the car, not for the purpose of credit checks.

My girlfriends father bought an A4 about 12 months ago and as part of the bargaining they asked for the credit card. It just allows them to see who is serious and who are tyre kickers!!!

I dont know why you want to test drive the R8??? it doesnt even get any more power than the RS4, not to mention the extra cost which is astronomical. The chassis is no doubt nicer, but i can assure you that the RS4 has more than enough ability to have fun anywhere you want. And yes, i have driven an RS4 on a regular basis

You will not get a R8 drive. Audi/merc/ferrari/porsche and so on already established a curent and potential clientele list, and even if you are on that list and you are a "like" client then you may get a drive, even the general sale reps are not allowed to handle them, only senior management plus dedicated sale reps. I'm sure Audi OZ. has a pretty good idea of who could and would want one, and rolling up in a Boxster or an M3 isn't going to help.

[Guest trikdoutvl]

walk in there with a brief case fully of monopoly money "n say i own a hotel on mayfair"

[Guest trikdoutvl]

another idea...

hang around out front of the dealership with a sign around ur neck saying "will give head for test drives"

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

walk in there with a brief case fully of monopoly money "n say i own a hotel on mayfair"

yes! Do this!

[full house]

hahaha!!! yup! try to do that!!!

nice try trikdoutvl . . .

[Sheriff Wan]

Hahahaha Im wetting myself at all the suggestions!!!

I like the monopoly idea... dont think it's going to work though

Maybe if I get a briefcase and fill just the top layer of it with $100 notes and the rest just funny money... hmmm

[dangerous_daveo]

Without rereading it all. Just go up and ask . As they say, persistance pays! HAHA! (that or you'll get a restraining order against you, either way all good fun)

Dying people have a poor credit rating.
