[urq] 4WS - Audi style

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Eric,

Yeah, and it looks like they were right, too.  Honda had their Prelude with
4ws option ~15 years ago, but now only only some trucks (I think GMC) have
this option -- mainly for parking and trailer - backup reasons.  Besides, I
would think Scandanavian fliks and controlled slides in general would be
impossible :-)
