As an architect/ product designer I am naturally drawn to well designed and efficient products.
The A2 is just a timeless design and engineering masterpiece. Back in 2000 a friend and colleague of mine (Ross Lovegrove) drove up to my studio in his brand new silver A2 with OSS and it just looked it came from outer space. I was instantly hooked. He raved about the aluminium, the lightweight and environmental qualities.....Ross still have his A2, parked in his studio behind a glass wall (see picture below) and when we meet we always ask each other about our A2 ?

I eventually bought my first one in 2011. Not sure why it took so long. My only regret is that I wish go back in time and buy mine from new.
Indeed....He's a very successful designer, he could afford ANY car, yet he sticks with his A2. I think a shared sentiment among many of us.What a fantastic photo. I would imagine open office space comes at a premium in your neck of the woods, so to use it for a car must be love.
Those polo guys are pretty wild Steve!I bought a TDI as an economical commuter. What I didn't anticipate was the all encompassing obsession that saw 7 years membership to date, the establishment of a successful A2 related business, owning more A2's that one person should, logging into the forum more times per day that is healthy and finding a few good friends along the way. So glad I didn't buy a polo
