<center><img src="http://goodiebag.ca/sites/goodiebag/uploads/josh%20car.jpg"></center><p>I was really happy with the car. I've only been to the track once before. In November I went to Quattrofest at the track in Portland...I'd only had the car a month(it was completely stock then), it poured rain both days but was still fun.
This event was local (Mission Raceway in Vancouver B.C. Canada)
It is a short track but wow did I have alot of fun. No rain, pretty warm out, about 2 hours total track time.
I felt that the car handled pretty well...I was surprised though coming out of a couple of the corners at how easily the tires would spin every time even when completely dry.


Laps weren't timed so I'm not sure how I compared to others.
When my instructor drove my car for a couple of laps, it amazed me at how fast the car can be driven. I'm going through corners with tires howling and at what I think are the cars limits, and he drives a couple laps at higher speeds than I'll probly ever do (He's probably driven thousands of hours at this track and others)

No - you're foglights are on by themselves w/out the head lights.

Default Canadian cars are all like that...they are always on as driving lights.

I think you can enable it with vag-com.

Default Actually - the switch allows it.

New to me, maybe not others. But as soon as you've rotated the light switch to the parking lights on position you can pull it out and turn on the fog lights. It used to be that the low beams had to be on before you could turn the fogs on, but it appears Audi wised up and changed this for us!
