Well not zero actually, but not factory equipped either, but thousands of 016
urq torsens rolling, assuming the part numbers the same.  "Thoughtful"
contribution?  No, not thoughtfull at all, satirical maybe.  The fog is so
thick right now, humor seemed the only way.  At your expense?  No, Dave, just
in response to a post that, in your former threads, you show a definitive
misunderstanding of the switch.  Not sure how you can repeat, test, actively
search for a phenomenon you do not understand.  That's trolling with no bait.
Your quoted resume aside.

...  You thank her now.  So said the 'misses' to  the former switch known as
'Mr. Black Widow" in the arachnoid world for the equivalent good time. "
Wonderful time thank you mr widow"

Be careful.  That's another flat denial.  YOU can't repeat anything in your
torsen equipped cars that creates anything that YOU determined to be bite
like.  That is my objection sir,  you and Phil want to take this 'line'.  You
don't understand the switch, the conditions under which a bite occurs, or the
bite itself.  As we say down in mississippi, while joy riding the pickum up in
the bayou, "hey there's no danger of another truck (head on), I've done this a
hundred times".  It just don't happen.

Well, maybe that data is needed before you and Phil go trolling for unknowns
on your public streets.  Why not borrow a 44 chassis torsen, and understand
WHAT it is before you go trying to repeat an unknown?  BTW, I just instructed
at a qclub event (report to follow) this past weekend.  '98 1.8t A4.  All the
toys.  "I just can't get the offcamber downhill 90 right line with this car".
Rode with the Instructor making that statement, R1's, 7/10ths. Never did get
it.  Damn spider.

Dave, I meant that post in ALL the humor and satire intended.  Not AT you, AT
me.  You don't know enough about me, yet.  I claim to be nothing but an idiot.
So the post was written.  NOT in the same spirit and kind as your previous
(including a driving resume).  In general, I like your posts, your WR stories,
your choice of cars in a quattro environment.  And in general, I appreciate
your experiences.  Here, I feel you have brought your limited understanding of
the device, concept and your exact lack of experience to the forefront of the
"bite" phenomenon.  That concerns me as much as any claim it flat doesn't
happen.  Cuz with you, n = 2, and with Phil n = 1, and that makes a few think
that the word "absurd" might better describe the discussion at this point.
Ignoring the properties of the switch and the definition of traction while
defending the 'right' of something that may just be 'wrong' for the
conditions.  Damn turns.

Still jealous of your machines, still want a drive, and still want your posts.
I'm also confident when you get bitten, you will post in fairness.  I don't
insult you, your drives, or your lack of Torsen understanding or your lack of
bite experience.  I ask only the same in return.

Respectfully

Scott Justusson
