Default D2 A8 3.7 QS in the snow

Well I woke up yesterday morning to several inches of snow, and looked forward to trying out the Quattro system for the system.

I was really surprised at how well the system dealt with the snow, the office carpark entrance is on a steep slope and having arrived at work to see one other member of staff slipping half way up the slope he let me go first. Well, the car just drove up the hill like the snow was not there. The look on the other drivers face as I made it to the top with no fuss. He then followed behind using my tracks with no problem.

However upon returning home, having driven very carefully down the same slope I got the car stuck outside my house. Had to dig the car out, it was well and truly stuck with 4 wheels all spinning.

Went out again this morning, no drama but thats because all the roads are now clear.
