I can't say what I brought the misses on here as she does pop by on the forum now and again, but I need two people to carry it and ain't got a clue how I'm going to wrap it, it's currenty occupied the whole boot in my 8.
But I let my nephew open his christmas present early, he doesn't know how to work it just yet and is even a little afraid of it bless him. But my god is it awesome. A 1:10 scale Audi R8 V10 remote control car, it's rear wheel drive and it let's you pull really good skids on the laminete flooring. Has working lights that look Xenon that you can put on side or dipped setting and it's super fast and fun, got it from Toms Toys in Beverly Hills California which means I now need a US/UK charger adaptor which I'll grab but the detail is just awesome. Why didn't I get Christmas presents this awesome as a kid instead of sweaters and other crap!

Yes. Buy you have a real 8 to play with
Plus, you had the delight of exceeding a little kids expectations
