Here you go, Its weird as I couldn't look at it on my Ipad but could on the laptop ???

Amazing where the old girl could drag herself with them winter tyres and quattro.

If your pc says attachment.php when you download it, rename it to end .mp4 and it will play.

Thanks Del, was obviously an iPad thing then as I was on one. Worked fine as an mp4 Certainly a testament to the benefits of quattro when you think that the car is probably a bit long which doesn't help it, he must have pi$$ed off a few of the 4x4 owners haha

Nivas only have centre diff lock unless modified, that old quattro have rear and centre diff locks so that definitely helps.

On our D2's is it a open differential in the rear and the front?

Yes, all open. Lift one wheel in the air and you are not going anywhere it will just spin that 1 wheel at 4x the speed. On the old quattros if you had good grip for at least one rear wheel or both front wheels it would still pull when diffs locked.
