I know what trail braking is, but I don't use it...

It's not a technique that I feel is useful on the street...

If i need to adjust the attitude of the car going in to a corner, I use the handbrake. =)

But with a quattro, do you really need to trail brake? The throttle is pretty effective as well...

maybe that's why I never got into trail braking, I love using the throttle to steer..

Audi ABS FTL. Both the Suburban and the Nissan stop quicker than the A4 in today's snow storm.
