    No prizes for guessing what Wrinx wants for Christmas.

    Nice driving in the first vid, although it might have been a little interesting if he met anyone coming the other way.

    I've only driven the Q4 on snow once or twice, fun when you are going forwards, not so fun when you try and stop

    Never driven it in snow...so a little flurry would be nice

    In fact, it would be nice just to drive it

    Q4 in winter is awesome, really nice to drive, love it
    Especially that ir has 47/53 front/rear torque split It twists nicely

    Great vid, especialy the first one!

    Our car makes you feel like a rally king when it is slippery.
    Even though the car does most of the work.

    I once practised for fun on a very snowy parking lot, and the security company guy who patroled it tried to get to me to tell me off.
    Problem for him was his fwd car was not getting fast enough to me to reach me.

    So i skidded just as i wanted, making sure he was on the opposite side of my parking lot all the time.

    After about 15 minutes he decided to quit, and left the scene.

    I really like snow and wetness with the Q4, makes me leave the S2k in the garage.

    Japs invented Subaru for this type of driving. I personally don't let the Q4 out during wet and snowy times. The Estonian Roadworks just dumps salt everywhere and well... it really kicks the rust in. My other 155 that I drove daily bases basically rotted away by the time I sold it in -05 it was busted. it was a -97 model 155..

    A comment about driving in the first vid - its clear that that guy needs more practice - he(she?) cuts corners too late and lets the car go too wide when exiting. That will bring the STOP effect even more drastically to the scene.

    I'm using handbrake on daily basis, there is no time for freezing hehe.
    i'm addicted to drifting and ass dragging. There is much more videos on youtube of my alfa 33 fwd to rwd converted.
    Now i'm putting a q2 diff in my 3.0gtv, then i will make some sliding videos
