Owner rebadges Audi R8 with a BMW roundel

We’ve been looking at these photos for a few hours now and we really cannot tell if they are simply a photoshop or the “real deal”. If this Audi R8 re-badged as BMW is indeed real, then we have to wonder what went through the head of this owner.

The Audi R8 is a beautiful supersport car, without a doubt and unquestionable even by BMW fans, but to go to this extreme automatically raises some questions.

Could this owner be such a huge BMW fan? But then why would he buy a $120,000 Audi? Is he trying to make a point that BMW is not…yet…offering a supersports vehicle? Or maybe the most logical explanation: craving for some attention, of course, on the internet.







Regardless of his/her reasons, we got a laugh of it and we can put this article in our “odd things book”

Mean Machines - Focal Gathering (16/08/09)

So I went for one of the biggest mean machines gathering I ever attended. On behalf from VAG Club Brunei, I was the only one who attended the event. A bunch of Supras, MR2s and a few cars from BSC, BZOCA attended the event.

The gathering was on 16th August 2008 (Sunday), where our meeting point was at Tyremart, Lambak.










We set off a cruise trip from there to Muara, and had a run from there to Kiulap. Unfortunately, the weather was pouring heavily that it doesn't give a damn about the shiny cars that attended! :bb










------
















The rain stopped awhile during our short break at Kiulap. Had our little refreshments before proceeding to the next destination.

Then from there, we set off to the Local Stadium for further photoshoot session. Most of the pack parted ways as they had their things to do. The remaining of us proceeded with the cruise to the Stadium. It started raining heavily again as we're on our way to the Stadium!

























The rain kept pouring down even until the end of the meet!

So there ya have it. The great mean machines, from our local country. Hats down to the owners of the rides. Such a great dedication and shows what a car enthusiast is all about!

Looking forward to roll with you guys again! I'm sure I'll bring my VAG Family along this time, but unfortunately it was a last minute event for us too since we just had our photoshoot session the night before and I bet everyone was tired too.

See you guys soon! The fasting month is around the corner, so yeah.. ;)
