I didn't say that - please stop trying to extrapolate my words into
admissions of that type.

I said: "I'm not denying ...".  I can't deny it, because I have no
experimental base on which to do so.

As a matter of fact, I _believe_ that it's impossible on a Type 44
as well.  But I have zero experience of the car and hence zero proof.
And I'm not going to get caught up in reading behaviour into a
simplified cutaway drawing of a mechanical device.

It is just _so_ difficult to get an ur-quattro into this situation.  It
might be easier with 6" tyres, but Audi started mounting 8" as standard
long before the Torsen came out.  I might have to see if I can borrow
a set of an old car at a track day somewhere.
