[V8] The R8 super car

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Roger,

To each his own, I guess.  I wasn't a fan of the Q7 'til I saw it and rode
in it.  The lines work a lot better than they look in a magazine.  And the
handling?  Simply amazing.  I could go on, but it's a moot point to me as my
fundage wouldn't allow either.  So I gather you don't like the lines of the
new tt, either?  Roger, I think you're showing your age ;~)

Ingo (mit enough V8's right now)
