quattro + snow = FLIPPIN COOL!

Here's a little clip of my old 90quattro playing the other evening. I know it's not an 8 but its quattro so fitting none the less....

Still pretty thick and white here, the S8 performed better than my A4 Avant 3,0 Quattro. Probably due to the wider track and extra weight.

My car was covered yesterday, the snow was 5,5 inches in places, I didn't bother digging her out - I simply cleared the windshield, reversed her out and headed to the ex-US Army air base, with a lovely airfield, where I was able to put the S8 through her paces. Awesome!
