I've parked mine in the garage, and I run with a full-size spare in the ur-
quattro. This may not be an option in the US version, because of the rear
bumper attachment. It takes 1/3rd of the boot space in mine ...
But I've often wondered, staring at the digestive biscuit stacked at the end of
the garage, whether anyone has ever put _FOUR_ on an ur-quattro and tried to
throw it around a bit?
If not, is anyone game for a try at the next UK track day? An ur-quattro on
four motorcycle tyres?
