"guy i know would have paid cash for a new Lambo, but the dealer wouldn't let him do an overnight test drive"

Right... he had $400K+ on him did he? I hope he had deep pockets

Anfo - you could be on a winner there mate... i'll throw one of my bitches at him as a distraction!

Only problem is getting my hat in the car, the feathers make it quite tall...

How bout, Pick up the guy who runs the audi shop... sleep with him and use him for test driving cars..

My sister seems to have it under control lol.

Just have a shitload of dosh in ur bank account and they'll let u drive her.

i just thought of another one apart from the boxster one, go with a mate, but have him hide outside, but where he can see you, you go in browse around for a bit, then either wait for one of the sales reps to come up to you, or call one of them over and start talking, asking lots of questions about the car, then while mid conversation, drop a little signal, touch your ear or something, to let your friends know to call you, at which point, politely say 'pardon me one second..' answer and it start talking out of your arse

'look! i told you before, drop the Williams account, that bottom feeder thinks he can run my company because he put 800 grand in, f*ck him, Charletons got 6 mill ready to roll, and if you call me on my day off again, you can go find another job, now F@#$ oFF!'

"sorry bout that, so how do i get a drive of this thing again?"

*foreign accent might help too, but that might be going too far?*

that said if you walk in with a sawn off they arent likely to say no either :whistling:

VB - it sounds like you have done this before :) great plan

Decimate - how much cash are we talking? I don't think I will show them that :whistling:

Hmmm sleeping with the Audi guy would be quite hard if he doesn't swing that way... well maybe your sister could line me up a drive?

Better judgment says I shouldn't reply to this thread, but anyway...

Your chances are slim at best.

Here's a few options...

1. Join P1 (it's the Christmas gift that keeps on giving!)

2. Come work for me (I need a delivery/carwash helper in Santuary Cove at the moment - email me if you are available)

3. Become a respected journalist (you need to learn that you are is abbreviated as you're and not your first)

4. Catch me on a good day here in Melb (few and far between at the moment, but I have been known to throw the keys to the SL65 to Brisby...)

5. Work for Audi

So you know how easy it isn't...

One of my customers went to Audi in his own F355 and still had to actually order a car and then wait 2-weeks for them to offer him a test drive.

Supervised. Just round the block.

Same guy rang me to say mine was stable but had a bit of wind noise at over 200kmh.

I know which way is more fun :whistling:

funniest thread ever

seriously though, go and rent or borrow another quality car (sorry but Jap won't cut it, unless it is a late model NSX)

Ring them up before you go in, make an inquiry about a lower spec Audi, ask them if they will do a trade in on whatever it is you have (hopefully it is something above $100k for an R8).

Make an appointment to test drive the lower spec car, show up in the "borrowed" car make sure they see you arrive and ask them to give you an evaluation for trade, then start asking about other cars, eventually working your way to the R8, ask if you can take it for a test drive, they will probably say no. Say you will be in touch regarding what you were able to test drive.

Come back a week later and ask again, make sure you get the same sales person.

You will find them to be more compliant this time around. This will be the time to start asking about what is required to purchase the R8.

Let them start to work out the figures, you will have to do your research here on how much you need to earn to pay for this. For gods sake do not say you work for someone else, even if you are a lawyer or Doctor. You will only be able to own this car if you have your own successful business.

Tell him you are really interested but you are also looking at a couple of other cars - Porsche GT3 or BMW M6 for example. However you will not proceed negotiations any further without a test drive. This may happen on the second visit or maybe the third.

You will not have to dress up (in fact some of the richest people I have met, wear shorts and T-shirts to this kind of stuff) under no circumstances act like a wanker unless you want them to bring the car to your $3+ million dollar Mansion for test driving a couple of days later.

But realistically I think they will call your bluff, if you have no history with them like Jamezilla said.

At that end of the market you are easily verifiable or you are a tyre kicker, simple as that.

Whatever BullSh*t it takes to get the job done ....then do it..Then drive that son of Biatch like you stole it...!! Totally rape the car, gutter to gutter drift.Hand the keys back and say " No I am actually a little disappointed...After driving this and my Skyline, Sorry to say but my skyline is far superior"

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...

GTR-32U - Hahahaha I can assure you if I get this drive it will not be gentle :rofl: they are meant to be driven and thats what will happen!

On a funnier note I was thinking for a sign off:

Picture me just getting out of the car and saying this to the salesman.

"This car is much worse than that F430 the Ferrari dealer would NOT let me test drive"

Hahaha what a great sign off!!!!

"guy i know would have paid cash for a new Lambo, but the dealer wouldn't let him do an overnight test drive"

Right... he had $400K+ on him did he? I hope he had deep pockets

i love it when ppl comment on something they know nothing about

the guy in question is worth around $150 million dollars, so yes- it would have been nothing at all for him to put a new Murcielago Roadster on his Black Amex

well if you want to put it on your black amex they'll be charging you the extra 4% surcharge for sure :(

i guess he would have just sent his full-time lackey to the bank with a briefcase to take out $720K instead :banana:

i guess he would have just sent his full-time lackey to the bank with a briefcase to take out $720K instead :banana:

And thats when you know you've made it. When you have a full time lackey to just do stuff.

dont even bother my mate tryed it with an RS4 they organised a test drive and when he rocked up they asked for his creditcard and said that he has to have a minimum of $10000 limit on it.

JUST THINK OF THIS AS WELL WHAT IF U WERE TO DAMAGE THE CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT WOULD U DO THEN....?

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
