I mentioned this ages ago, but there was a guy running around in a blue Audi S8 near me a while back, owned a local IT business.
The reg of his car was "S8".
Last time I checked I think he must have switched cars as the reg was on a rather large engined Merc, think it still is.
Apparently still is. It doesn't say which though, only 'Limousine', so I'm guessing S Class.

Obviously you can't tell with such a cropped picture, but that sort of car parked on the drive of what looks like a very modest house looks pretty ridiculous, if you ask me.A friend of mines car
Lots of people drive very expensive cars, yet live in mediocre houses. It's all about personal priorities.

I am sorry but YOU cannot tell what kind of property that is from that photo at all. It could be a massive house. You can never tell. Also that is not a road in front as look at all those loose chippings.

Chippings? I suggest you test your eyes. They're stones.
And, to test your eyes again, re-read my post. It has a clear caveat. But it still LOOKS like that from that shot.

Very nice R8 V10 there. First in the thread isn't it?
It could be a dealer demo / test car from looking at the cover over the seat.
Is there any main differences visually apart from the small badge and the wheels between the V8 and V10?

I think the front grill is chrome as well.
Must be a terrible driver then
And not allowed an opinion of course.

Doubt its anything special, but it grabbed my attention. The guy drove it like a 90 year old would do though... Very very slowly! Still couldn't get a good pic though 
Hang on...
Just been going through the last page of the thread though and seen that an almost (if not) identical car was at a Preston motor show? Could be the same one perhaps, my poor photos were taken on the M60.

That car is owned by the mum of my best mate's ex. She owns some sort of florist chain IIRC, and the house is very nice inside, although it's not that big.
Sadly to say, her daily drive is a Citroen C1.
