Top Gear has an Audi R8 V10 Plus for a few months. More specifically, motoring editor Ollie Marriage has an R8 V10 Plus for a few months.Ollie cares deeply about his long-term test cars and doesn"t lend them out lightly. Getting the keys to his yellow pride and joy for one of the hottest weekends of Britain"s summer, then, is something to savour.So what did I do? Not play it cool in the slightest. I did what I hope anyone would do in the circumstances: plan a trip to see family, show off to friends, and enjoy the roads I know and love the best. That meant a trip to England"s north east (where this gallery was shot), a considerable journey from TG"s London base, leading to lots of hours in the R8. Good.Pictures: Adam Shorrock
