[200q20v] My first quattro test!

Greetings all,

I purchased my 1991 200 quattro in July of this year.  Of course, it doesn't
snow in July, so I had no way to test my quattro system.  The only previous
car I owned was a 1985 5000s, front wheel drive (hey, I'm only 18, so lay
off).

I wake up this morning and it snowed.  I was excited, so the first thing I
do is put on some clothes and start up my car.  A few minutes later I pull
out of the driveway and into the street.  Next thing I do is accelerate, and
boy what a feeling!  It snowed a good 3 inches and I still had my summer
tires on, but I got traction!  I asked myself: "hmm, maybe it's just a warm
part of the road?"  So I next brake a little and start sliding like I'm used
to (with the 5ks).  It's an awesome feeling to not loose traction when I
accelerate.

Just thought I'd share a milestone in my Audi career.
