Audi introduce the new Audi R8 Spyder
With an air of excitement mixed with a sense of inevitability, Audi unveiled the convertible, or Spyder, version of its R8 supercar at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show.

Changing your vehicle oil by yourself is a rather easy job to do and will save you on servicing bills. Purchasing your own motor oil and oil filter generally cost around the R430 at any spares dealer, but many oil and lube garages charge anything from double that.
