The slush was mental here too. One minute I was flying up the motorway, The next it was a couple of inches deep in slush and the heavy rain had turned into massive chunks of snow.
Took the time to slow down before I was in it. Suprised no-one crashed tbf. Feel for anyone further up than the south coast, weather is immense.
Apparently going to be worse tonight too. Gutted, I need to get the golf to VW in the morning for a new battery. The cold killed mine today

I don't think our journey home last night was as bad in comparison to others on this thread; 1 hour as opposed to a normal 15-20 minute journey home.

Thats not a 4wd Audi, the 4wd is the quattro, this is the 2.0TDi
EDIT: oops, I saw it was already mentioned
