Ok, but you have to know that without posting proof of actually owning one (and not passing by someones house and taking the picture, which it seems you did) then no one is going to believe you.
If you don't have a problem with that then that's grand.

Just makes ya look a fair bit stupid!

That's MY house!!!

I just put up the pic as a means of a friendly chat and I'm being villified and attacked for not being essentially a myspace whore with the car.. Jesus Christ.

smash · 29-05-2008 11:49am

lads if it was your car I doubt you'd be taking photos of it all day either... here look, I've got pics of my zonda that I keep in Spain!

and here's one inside if you don't believe it's mine!

That might be the case, doesn't appear to be it.
Can you honestly not see where anyone is coming from?

myspace whore? hardly, you posted a very low quality, partial view of this car you apparently own.
Now..unless you have absolutely ZERO interest in cars you'd have nicer pictures than that..and if you had no interest then you wouldn't have a car like that.

Yes I have an interest. But I don't have an ego problem that I need to tell everyone or prove it to usernames. My phone has a VGA camera, and it's a very basic camera - I prefer battery life, I don't feel the need to prove my phone's worth either!
Yes, I see where people are coming from, but here's something YOU can consider.

I had a 05 S4, I woke up one morning, my house was freezing, with a cold breeze. Went downstairs, porch window REMOVED cleanly, and car gone. Not a sound. So if you think I'm prepared to advertise think again.

gavquinn · 29-05-2008 11:57am

Yes, Thank you steve06.

I don't advertise. like steve06, he loves the attention.

booooonzo · 29-05-2008 12:03pm

Here is my MR2, I lowered it in photoshop just to see what it would look like but its not that low in real life.

In the garage at the moment but hopefully all done for the bank holiday

fingers crossed

smash · 29-05-2008 12:09pm

ramps would be a serious issue, honestly I've nearly lost my exhaust so may times!

Homer · 29-05-2008 12:09pm

Here's my garage, i'm not telling you where it is in case one of you thieving gypsys whips out my porch door and runs off with the lot of them

TheBazman · 29-05-2008 12:49pm

Lads,

I dont get it - whats the big deal with needing more proof that they guy has the R8? I can understand a request for more pics if you would just like to see more of the car. However if it is just for proof, I dont think anyone should have to do this.

Anyway why is it so hard to believe that the owner of an R8 is on this Forum? I have congratulate the owner and wish him well. If it turns out that he was putting it up as a spoof (why someone would even consider this I dont know), will I lose any sleep because I wasted my congratulations ?...no.

Just my view

Thank you,

Why would anyone lie about it anyway? I don't think less of anyone for the car they drive, but I felt kinda like I was back in school there for a bit!

Cyrus · 29-05-2008 1:45pm

ive no problem either

however you have the nicest car so far and the worst pic

the only reason id like more is because i love the r8

any why are you swiping at m3 drivers

Homer · 29-05-2008 1:47pm

People lie all the time.. about what they drive, what they work at, how much they earn etc etc..

I just think its odd that driving one of the most aspired to cars in the country you don't have anything better than the picture you posted of it?
It looks like it was taken from next doors driveway or from outside the driveway walking past...
Can you not see where people are coming from doubting you?

You are obviously into your motors if you are driving that car yes?
If so, it's strange that you haven't taken any decent photos of it?

I drive a nice car and clean and polish it regularly and take photos of it on occasion..

Just understand why people are dubious thats all...

*Tripper* · 29-05-2008 1:47pm

1. Some people are very strange, get kicks out of internet people thinking they class stuff (I've a 599...)
2. Its not an attack what so ever, I'm not a jealous person, I love cars and I'd love to see a few pics! Also I wonder if you were the R8 owner that I ripped out of it near statoil, whe whe whe!
3. If i had an R8 i'd have a good few pics for gloating ability!

Victor_M · 29-05-2008 2:04pm

Jesus lads give it a rest, the fella owns a very nice R8 get over it, the pettyness of this place sickens me sometimes, one of the few really nice cars posted in a while and he's getting slammed for it.

He has as much credability here as some posting a photo of a clean polished civic, it's an online forum, we just have to take peoples word for it on here.

I'm with Gavquinn on this. He's posted a picture of his car which happens to be an R8.

I didn't see anyone questioning Boooonzo if he actually owns the MR2.

Both nice cars

plissken · 29-05-2008 4:26pm

The reason why I think some posters myself included are dubious about Mr Gavquinns R8 ownership is that not to sound snobby but the language used in all of Gavquinns posts comes across as being writhen by a 16 year old.

Now let me say if you do own this R8 may I congratulate you on owning such a glorious piece of machinery, but if your lying may I just say what a sad, monkey raping, tosser you are. (not counted as personal abuse unless Gavquinn admits to not owning the R8 :pac:)

Now your the only person here who nows whats in your driveway so ill leave it at that

Eoin · 29-05-2008 4:36pm

Can we move on from this debate?

gavquinn · 29-05-2008 5:06pm

As i posted several times, I only have one picture. I'm a discerning motorist, but I don't care what phone I use - hence the poor quality picture :pac:

One guy said - "it looks like you were outside a house walking past"
I said - "that's my house!" to which he replied - "that doesn't seem likely"

........... Well......

R.O.R · 29-05-2008 5:10pm

Not especially inspiring, but reasonably priced and should be reliable.

Nice to cruise in, but I miss my Turbo

tossy · 29-05-2008 6:32pm

not that i care either way if you have an R8 or not,but i will say this i find it unusual that you went outside your house closed the front door,stood outside the garden wall not in the open gate way but behind the wall and took what i would describe as a "take a quick snap of something before anyone one see's you" picture of YOUR car outside YOUR house.Also just for pig iron what is the other car in the driveway? we can see a corner of it in the picture.

btkm8unsl0w5r4 · 29-05-2008 10:07pm

I am really dubious about that R8. Suppose a few more pics without any details or way of identifying the location would shut us all up......

Here is my baby.....

sorry it was dark...but just went out and took a pic (its that easy gavquinn)

pedro ferio-vti · 29-05-2008 10:44pm

Sweet, have to say I love the idea and looks of the 335i. E36 M3 power with extra comfort and much better styling. The convertibles are quite nice too.

What's the rear leg room like Fitzgeme?

btkm8unsl0w5r4 · 29-05-2008 11:07pm

Legroom is good in the back.... six two friend of mine fits in just fine. Getting in and out is a bit awkward though. Really the back seats are for occasional use. Strict four seater due to the drivetrain running between the seats

Wow, your reading into it WAAY too much, I was out with my neighbour in the garden, it's a small garden, the other car is a 97 A3, and i think the other one is a VW polo.

You put a new set of rear tyres on it yet?

Curious what you get out of tank too - I've seen 380 kms - 470 kms depending on driving location.
