May 2017 While heading to Camogli (province of Genova) for a food festival about fish, this nice silver R8 passed us on the highway (pic N. 4), we tried to follow it in a service station but the owner, probably not satisfied by the fuel prices decided to do not stop and quickly left, sure about having lost it I have tried to forget it, but after arriving close to Camogli we found the R8 parked near a church in Recco, I was really happy to have a second chance to spot so I asked my father to stop his Kia Sportage, and he did, Recco is a new place on my map and despite the incredible spots from the past there, including an F40 and a Murcielago it was pretty unexpected for me to spot something there, the last spot in this town (the F40) is from August 2010, almost 14 years ago! This R8 also have a nice spotting history even if not as much the place where it was spotted, as it was posted for the first time on AG in Monaco, in July 2008, almost 16 years ago, when I was just 6 years old lol, then the car was posted again in June 2019 in Forte dei Marmi.
