You can do a lot with a small engine. We bought a new A250 4Matic for my wife a couple of months ago. It's just a 2 litre turbo engine, but honestly it's got more than enough performance (160kW/350Nm). The A45 is more powerful from the same powerplant, though I think that's mostly just a higher pressure turbo.

Sure, it'd be smashed into next week by a supercar; but I'm not in the middle of the UK anymore with my Supra; I'm basically in the middle of Melbourne city. My opportunities to even floor it are practically non existent, and you'd be mad to break the speed limit because there's a camera every 10 feet.

These days now that I'm no longer 21 and invincible (I think I'm 22 now), I don't honestly see the point of much more performance. The nanny/big brother state is firmly watching, and I can't be fucked dealing with the agro of police etc; I'd practically lost my license by the time I was 19, I try not to do it anymore.

That said, I still like to have some power available, because every now and then I find myself on a country lane, and then it's a lot of fun smiling smiley

More to the picture topic though, that sure is a waste of a nice machine. I would've treated her nicer than that!
