If its going up a slope then I would say at least four mates to push, and one to throw a brick under a wheel if they run out of steam! The other option is a ratchet strap tied to something solid to winch it up the driveway.

Get the tinnies in
Thanks! Will do that!

I took my A6 Avant for a dry run into the drive tonight from a standing start parked next to the S8. It made it into the drive and most of the way up the drive under it's own inertia! I am going to have another go tomorrow with the A6 not started but ignition on and see if I can achieve similar results. I wonder if the S8 will perform similarly. I am a bit worried because of the reduced clearance under the car.
