Steve Q Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Just to add, on.my way to work this morning I had a tree come down onto my car! Thankfully i managed to swerve but it caught the passenger side. But luckily it's only minor scratches! Could have been alot worse! And you'll all be pleased to know that this didn't happen to the a6, but to my daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear you've had a near miss Steve and that the new car has been scratched but could have been a lot worse by the sound of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I hadn't have swerved, then the tree would have come through the windscreen or the roof! I'm hoping that most of the scratches will t-cut out to be honest.

SeanA4 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 We've had snow on and off down here. In all fairness, the councils in South Wales have been on the ball with the gritters. I did have to get up an untreated lane to get to site yesterday morning. Only about two inches of snow on it, Audi breezed through it. Thought it would struggle with summer tyres and front wheel drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Gritters, what are they? I can't say I've seen any whilst I've been out in this weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I were both heading to two different houses this morning in market harborough and just couldn't get there. We got half way and cars were stuck and skidding. Predominantly BMWs! Good job we went in convoy really. Still looking after my gran today though as the roads aren't as bad. But it's started snowing again to be fair.

SeanA4 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I Know what you mean about being Self Employed. I was on my way to Gloucester to look at a site. Made it as far as junction 38 of the M4, turned around and went home. Luckily I had paperwork to do so I could at least book a few hours. Nothing tomorrow though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WPAWS Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Decided the Audi is coming to work with me this weekend i got a job on in a small village and know no gritters go near this place so not taking my van just to get stuck in been so impressed with the quattro in the snow makes sense to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
