[urq] urq spotting & left foot braking!

[Johan H]

Hi Guys,

we got our first snow here in Finland last night! This means I'm going to go 
training left foot braking techiques for the first time with the urq after 
work today!! Lets hope the snow doesen't melt during the day... It will be 
very interesting to see how my beloved urq performs on snow.

I am especially keen on testing how the torsen makes the car behave. Has 
someone experiense of a torsen urq on ice? Can you feel any changes in under 
and oversteer?

By the way, I spotted a new urq here in Helsinki the other day. It has to be 
an -87 WR while it doesen't have the rectangular diff lock knob like in MB 
and RR cars, and not the push/pull switch of the earlier cars either.  In 
what years was the round diff lock (not the push/pull but the twistable) 
knob produced? The car was finished in the magnificent Mother of pearl 
paint. I have to say that this color suits the quattro very well, but it has 
to be a PITA to fix scratches...
