I too have had numerous standard A12's and they are great for what they are. However I currently commute 850k's a week using a standard A14 and I am rapt with the way it delivers power - it's an awesome engine that surprises a few other cars. When I stop driving this car then the A14 will be modded and go into one of my race or road cars. If you like A series motors you need to experience an A14!!
