Mine has been tucked up nicely in the garage - apart from the trip to 1320 on friday where it was alot of fun with 18 runflats on snow/ice...

Must admit to not enjoying driving my car in the snow too worried about stacking it to enjoy it - hows everyone else getting on ? My GFs KA however is a bit of a hoot

Been out this morning in the S, at 11am I was surprised that it was still -3, and the roads in Bury town were still icy even with grit!!!

Few slips and slides, but nothing major - however, the car is 2 meters out of the drive as it just won't reverse in because of the ice. There is a ride of snow it won't get over, even though the drive is dead flat!!!

The access road and payments where I live are like an ice rink! The main roads are all clear though, I'm off to a bike club Xmas Lunch in London Colney, Hertfordshire so that might be fun

I have to admit to being a bit of a weirdo as I have been loving driving the S in this weather, he's done me well the past few days. I feel all warm and safe inside my car. Driving to work on Friday was good fun as it's 8 miles of twisty country lanes, it was fine provided slowing down was all done through the gears!

Trip to work on Friday was fun, took me two hours to do a 45 minute drive...the Audi was frozen solid!

Stayed off the M11 going into work for many reasons, went the back way and reminded a toss-pot in an Astra the reason for leaving a large gap between you and the next car in ice and snow. Tapped my brakes (without actually braking) and then watched him squirm all over the road - he seemed to back off afterwards - funny that.

Went to see Legally Blonde the musical in the west end last night, came back up the M11 at 12 midnight - god that was fun! Snowing heavy, couldn't see the road surface and was being guided by the side of the road and the ridge of snow over the white line between the carriageway and the hard-shoulder.

Audi does handle snow very well, much better than the Honda (had no steering feel what so ever), must be Audi's heritage.
