Indeed, latter being a rare beast. 5-pot N/A Quattro.

Both amazingly well. I live out in the sticks and we were hooning down untouched country lanes with ease, some with steep inclines. Q was on winters, so was running away from the R, 60+ on snow steering by flicking its weight alone is as close to rallying as I'm going to get. I wasn't driving though.

Just got it. Will put it down to combination of exam stress and five hours of driving in snow. Shattered.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Just had the snowboards out on the local dry slope. Quite spooky at night when you sneak on at night with no lights!!

5 inches on the M25 tonight  :scared:

M25 was stationary at around 9PM a complete nightmare, just after Junc 25 the lorries couldn't get up the hill, scattered all over the place, after about an hour of being stationary, the police arrived and we threaded our way through the lorries and the stuck BMW drivers, then had the whole 3 lanes plus hardshoulder to myself doing a steady 25mph, actually stopped at one point to let a car overtake doing around 40-50 (madness) as it was safer then risk him sliding into my while overtaking.  For the first time ever didn't have to worry about the average speed cameras

The R32  :love: did me proud even on summer tyres, but I'm not taking it out again until it all melts

We have about a centimetre or 2 in SE20 near Crystal Palace, but Metcheck is predicting a big dump starting from midnight onwards!!
I'm hoping for a big dump in the morning - but it wont have anything to do with snow!  :booty:

My taxi awaits .  . .  :evilgrin:

This is the car after 5 hours of driving:

That pic is quite handy, as it shows you the airflow on the front of the Mk5 . . . kewl! :happy2:

You not got open fogs then Stealthy?  :signLOL:
Not now anyway - that may change in the thaw though!  :evilgrin:
