A confused owner.

Does he own an R8 or an 850?

 

[LSX]

I'm gonna say no.

R8

850

They aren't affiliated. ( Sorry for the large pic, it's just easier to read that way.)

Edit: Wow what a winner, just realized he peeled the Audi stickers off the engine cover, looks like it left residue, not to mention looks like garbage now. "What are those sticky rings on you engine cover?"

Needs clean that car first off, then give his keys to anyone who would appreciate the car. Then promptly get a head examination.

I'm gonna say no.

I got that on my profile, first time I saw it I was . anyway, that is wrong. I like Audis and BMWs, but this guy confused the two vehicles

 

[GilesGuthrie]

And doesn't know his vehicles that well. The "V8" badge on the engine cover is wrong, since the 850 had a V12.

LOL i forgot that, he is really confused then.

I have to admit, I'd take the 850 over the R8. I don't if thats a given or not but, I want that 850.

I think my Anti-R8 bias is well documented...but what's this confusion?

OH. He stuck Beamer emblems all over it. Hm...unsure if he deserves a Rice Citation or not.

I like the R8 a lot. And the 850. But what the hell does that owner think he's doing? It's even worse than people putting Mercedes badges on Smarts, and at least they're owned by the same company...

 

[TofuStoreDrift]

I just have to ask the owner one question, Why?

 

[Paulie]

Things this owner now doesn't own:
Audi R8
BMW 850
Brain

I like the way he went to all the effort of removing all the other Audi logos, but left the Quattro logo on the front grill. And surely if he wanted a 850 that much then he could afford to go buy a used one? I mean a R8's around £50,000 at the moment second hand and a BMW 850 is...well much less than that.

Some supercar owners confuse me beyond belief.

My guess would be it's some over-privileged kid who whined over wanting a BMW, but his dad gave him an Audi, and he decided to demonstrate to the world his displeasure and overwhelming stupidity. Yeah, that's a lot to guess from three photos, but there you go.

Or maybe he found out Audi's parent is VW, and his car being associated with those of "common people" left him with such a distaste he decided to rebadge it.

I think his friends should rebadge it with VW emblems, though, at least that would be more accurate.

 

[SPhilli911]

My guess, is that since it's a Russian registered car, that there may be some sort of legal problem with having a new Audi?? Idk

What would be fun to see is the car's title. Maybe it is a BMW, technically, on paper.

Car companies really need to have better standards as to who they sell to, so muppets like the owner of that poor R8 dont get the opportunity to do ****ish things like that to wonderful cars.

The owners of Bristol have the right idea, if they dont like the look of you they wont sell you a car!
