There are countless bloggers online with views on owning R8s. I got quite a lot of information from watching YouTube videos, but apart from this being my personal journey it doesn't have the banal "chat" that you have to forward through to find useful facts.
One of the fun things I've done is take photo's of things I've had in the luggage compartment...
