No snow nor ice here on the North Coast of NI :( Forecast for Thursday/Friday though :D

But when there is ice/snow the handbrake gets some abuse in my A3 at 2am going to work since there is no-one about in the snow and ice .. I'm such a child!

Can get the A6 sideways too since it's quattro, esp off and boot the throttle and the car sorts everything out itself

Sod all in Bristol. Not that I'd take my Audi out in the snow.
That's what my Kangoo van is for.

Took the van out today, left the S3 at home.
My whole van cost me the same as a replacement alloy and a replacement mirror
glass for the car. No traction control, no abs, skinny tyres, diesel torque and
more weight = got where I wanted to and didn't worry about tw@tting it at all.

I got to the work car park early today..... i got to work late. I was doing handbrake turns through the car park for about ten minutes. Walked into work 5 mins late... "had trouble with the snow" 4 out of 5 successful handbrakes into a parking spot tho, and some excessive hooning with ESP off

I had great fun tonight in the S3 in the snow. ESP off, manual mode in first gear = fun :w00t:

Could do with losing the crap Bridgestones though.

Just went out to confirm that the ESP light flashes when in extreme stability situation....

Snow, Ice
ESP OFF
Hoon - rear end hanging out - power slide
ESP light starts flashing away, I *think* I can hear the EDL activating, braking individual wheels.

So - it looks like with ESP OFF, it's Reduced ESP, not totally off !!
