2 cars to mod may get a little expensive though, so would I then have to think about something else! :rolleye:

You had to go and mention me didn't you Hurdy... brought me out of incognito mode due to my vanity :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: I'll now have to submit some long overdue posts regarding the mods on my Ed30 and visits to JKM and pics of the new R32... plus I have bought ANOTHER car after the R32 :signIWS: So much for financial prudence during the recession. :driver:

OK, here's a preview of the R32... not very good photo as it was taken with my mobile phone. Thats my 4 year old daughter in the passenger seat probably thinking 'I've got a nice new clean car to make a lot of mess in' (the Ed30 still hasn't recovered from her vandalism :sad:)

You're just trying to tempt me now aren't you :grin: :drool:

Thats incorrect.
Quattro is quattro. Its a Audi developed system known as the Torsion system (Not sure about spelling) and it delivers the same amount of power and torque to all four wheels irrespective of the driving situation.
All Audi's that fall under the quattro brand use the torsion system. It is not the Haldex system. Quattro is permanent 4 wheel drive. Have you ever tried wheel spinning a Audi A4 3.0 litre quattro? Its literally impossible.
Haldex is as far as I understand a bit like traction control. It sends power to the wheels that need power. In effect it is as some consider "all wheel drive". It is not permanent and is not 50/50.
