An Instagram influencer charged with fleeing police during a high speed chase arrived in court this morning in a designer dress and outlandish sunglasses, before posing for pictures with the media. Margarita Tomovska, 27, from Alfords Point in Sydney's South, is accused of speeding away from police with an unrestrained toddler in the back seat of a Mercedes on November 13 last year. Ms Tomovska first faced court on December 11 and before her second appearance at Wollongong local court today, she flaunted her outfit to her 63,000 Instagram followers, branding herself the 'Mercedes Mum'. Share Ms Tomovska shared her ensemble in an Instagram story prior to Tuesday morning's trial, where she dared the media to 'come at' her. The outfit consisted of a short, black-and-white striped dress by designer Balmain, a pair of diamond-encrusted Gucci sunglasses, Louboutin high heels and a Givenchy handbag. In another Instagram story, the 'Mercedes Mum' shared a series of messages with her own mother where they had discussed arriving at the courthouse via helicopter.

Planning my way to get to court tomorrow,' she wrote. Mums idea to get a helicopter. Ms Tomovska was driving a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG in Helensburgh on the night of November 13 when she was pulled over by police. 260,000, at speeds of up to 200km/h with an unrestrained toddler in the back seat. Ms Tomovska allegedly continued to drive for a further 10km north along the Pacific Motorway before she and another male passenger were finally caught. The 27-year-old was arrested and taken to Wollongong Police Station, where her licence was suspended. Ms Tomovska allegedly continued to drive for a further 10km north along the Pacific Motorway before she and another male passenger were finally caught. Ms Tomovska did not enter a plea at the time and it is understood that she is yet to enter a plea after today's proceedings. Reports claim the case has been adjourned to February 19 to allow her solicitor to gather supporting material to the prosecution on one of the charges. Daily Mail Australia is awaiting further details from Wollongong Local Court.

Australians enjoy a unique love affair with European performance cars. In particular, we have a special place for German-built hot rods. We buy more Mercedes-Benz AMG models, as a percentage of overall sales, than any other market in the world. BMW's M-Sport and Audi's Quattro performance house follow a similar pattern. So the arrival of a new model in this space is particularly significant. And there's something very significant about the latest entry to this pricey but competitive market - Audi's new S4 sedan. 100,000 price point yet is distinctly different and more desirable than the very good standard A4. It goes without saying this is the best S4 we've driven. Having switched a decade or so ago from raspy six-cylinder engines to sweet-sounding V8s, all three German makers in this mid-sized express category have reverted back to a smaller-engine recipe in recent years. BMW's M3 - having dallied with a V8 in its previous model, now relies upon a potent, twin-turbocharged straight six in its M3 sedan and M4 coupe.
