POBPhotoContest: Cars - The Beautiful New AUDI R8 - V10.

jacoalberts in Proof of Brain • last year

This is my entry for this week's #POBPhotocontest. The Contest is hosted by @friendlymoose. If you would like to participate in this contest's fun, read about the rules in this post by @friendlymoose.

The theme for the contest for this week is " Cars".

About 2 weeks ago, we went to the Shongweni Farmers and Craft Market.

It so happened that the AUDI dealership from Pinetown had some vehicles on display there.

I love cars, so I was immediately drawn to the display. I got into a conversation with one of AUDI's friendly sales staff. He was a friendly young man, and it soon came out that he was also a passionate photographer.

He invited me to come to their dealership in Pinetown and take some shots of the cars they have on display.

I took him up on it this morning.

I received a friendly welcome and he took me on a tour of the whole building. From the "new vehicle" showroom to the "used car" showroom and beyond...to areas which I get the impression that the public doesn't really get to see...

For today, I would like to share with you the brand new AUDI R8 - V10.

My first photo will also be my entry for this week's #POBPhotocontest.

As mentioned, I present you with the new AUDI R8 - V10...lol

Let's get the full view of this beauty...

Admiring some lines...from the front.

And the rear...

And when you see this in your rear-view mirror, you first get goosebumps, then you move over and enjoy the view. It's just as beautiful from behind...

Just getting another view from the front.

Standing behind the car, the V-10 engine is visible through the rear window.

One last look, trying to capture as much as possible of this car in one shot...

And that's it for today, folks!

Thank you for reading my post! I do appreciate it!

Apologies for the late reply, @littlebee4.

My wife came down with a severe tummy infection after drinking tap water (yes, it seems like we cannot drink tap water anymore...), and I had to take her to the ER yesterday where she ended up on a drip for the afternoon due to dehydration...

Yes, it was really kind of him to take me around! I appreciated that so much!

Thank you for the kind words and for your feedback. I do appreciate it.

I hope you have a great week ahead of you!

No worries @jacoalberts 😊

Oh noooo 😳 so sorry to hear that. Just from drinking water. Crazy… more countries are going that way.
We didn’t drink tap water in Spain as it made you sick.
Hope she recovers soon 🍀🍀 take care! Both of you.

You are welcome my friend 👋🏻😊 you too!

Yup...just from drinking water. It's going to take some getting used to the idea of not being able to drink water from the tap. We grew up being used to drinking water straight from the tap. But it looks like that is coming to an end now...

So you are used to not drinking tap water...from living in Spain...?

She is looking better, thank you, @littlebee4👍! Although she has been booked off and only needs to return to work on Friday, she is already talking about returning to work by tomorrow.

But thank you so much for the well-wishes!

Enjoy what's left of your week🙏!

Yes I can imagine.
We had the same. We only bought bottles of water and used them for drinking.
I did cook in tap water, when the cooked thing didn’t soak up the water. And washing was fine too. But definitely no drinking.
I grew up in the Netherlands, ok most of my life… and we could just drink out of the tap. It changed when I moved to Spain in 2015.
Now we drink out of the tap again here in the highlands. It’s good. Luckily.

Wonderful to hear, yay! Great progress. She still has to take it easy for a few more days.

Thank you so much, you too my friend. Enjoy what is left 👋🏻😊🎉

We are now boiling the water and then keeping it in the fridge. That seems to work. But to be on the safe side, we also start buying water for drinking. Cooking and washing seem to be fine.

I'm sure you enjoy being able to drink water from the tap again in the highlands...lol!

Yes, I agree with you...my wife still has to take it easy for a few more days, and I have to keep reminding her...lol.

Speak to you soon, @littlebee4👍!

That sounds good too.
It’s a switch, but for health reasons. Everything matters.

Yes, a nice extra that we didn’t have for the last 8 years.

Hahaha stubborn… I so understand.
All the best for both of you. Enjoy the afternoon and evening.
Speak soon 👋🏻😊

Yes, that is true!

"A nice extra"... that makes sense👍.

Yes, once she gets something in her head, she can be quite stubborn...lol. But in a good way though. She has a great work ethic... In the 14 years that she has been with this company, I think this is the second time she has taken the time off. The first time was after we got attacked in our home early in 2019. After fighting the scumbags off, I ended up in the hospital with a knife blade sticking out of my face and it had to be surgically removed...so she obviously wanted to be with me. Besides that, the company she works for requires their staff to take their leave during December due to the industry they're in. So that is the only time she would take. She can be as sick as you can get, but she'll still be at work. So when she agreed to stay at home for these two days, I knew she was really not feeling well and that had me quite concerned.

Speak to you soon, @littlebee4👍!
