Default S8 in the snow

Did a bit of playing in a car park it was a little small, but it's surprisingly hard to find a empty car park with nothing to hit.

Got a six hour trip oop norf now in the RS 6, and there is a fair bit of snow to tackle. Wouldn't even attempt it in a non quattro car on summer tyres with 750 horsepower and 900 torques.

Snow up North? - we seem to be in a weird microclimate near Manchester airport atm - virtually no snow at all, just green fields and blue skies, tho' a bit of a fresh breeze, so no donuts here .

To be fair, that's what the local BBC weather predicted on Friday - we seem to be in some sort of SnOzone hole..

Amar did you struggle putting all your torques down on our crappy northern roads on summer tyres?

Nope, I was taking it easy. I didn't break a sweat, even in deep snow it kept on going. There was a Golf that was stuck.
