Cos they're great round town. And over long distances in fact. It's ok though, he's still got his SL320 Special Edition tucked up in the garage. The A Class is the daily driver.

Trust me, the differences between an A Class and the SL are numerous and astonishing.

The rep mobiles and hairdressers convertibles (sorry SLK!) yes I'd agree but there's plenty of other stuff in the current Mercedes line-up. My choice would be:

SLS AMG
SLR
SL63 AMG

I quite like the CL-class too (63/65 AMG) and the various 'Black' models

Bratty's taste in classic Benz's is surprisingly not awful.

I never realised the A was any good Alex. Has he been successful?

Genetic Algorithm

As soon as you start to get a good design then lower the mutation rate. Once you reach scores of 150 or so then a subplot of your progress is generated.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

This one eventually got to 58; I'd hoped for better!
