For those still on the fence - looks like there's a rather flamey Iced Tea R8 at GG....

If you look in the R8 mega-thread, some in there says that looks like a stock photo of the one he bought, so it might actually be a plain one.

As other's have pointed out, it's gone now.  Of course it might be back in stock again in a week or two.

Not actually sure, I'm hoping I'll change my mind, but it is doubtful.

It's only 7.96lbs:

Won’t you lose the deposit if you bail out? Which we both know you won’t as that’s a belter 

And ive still got that R0 in my basket. Can’t stop going back to it 

Twinfan

Blimey, nice and light like my R8

It's refundable, but you're right I can't see me needing to get it refunded.

I am 100% blaming the forum when I'm declared bankrupt

GAK, but it was the only light one they had - will definitely be taking off the medallion to get my extra 1.3oz

Ha ha, good work!

Very nice @terada!

Mercifully for my bank balance and my marriage the R9 I fancied most has now gone... so I’m off the hook for the time being. 

Now, how does that Rounded-C neck carve on Memphis ES models compare to the 59 carve on my R8?

PMT just told me they’ll match the r8 and r9 deals 

Surely an ill informed staffmember?

That’s a great looking R9. Congratulations!
