There might be a tiny, little hint of jealousy there

My dad let me drive his car a month or two ago out on the country roads... The fastest thing I'd driven before that was a normally aspirated Subaru Forester once or twice at a touch over 110bhp or so. It was as heavy as the moon though.

Having stepped out of my 1.4 8v Fabia into a supercharged slk... All I can say is "Holy mother f****** god!"

I want one
