I work at a school which has been closed for the last 4 days as the drive is
too dangerous. I just got up it first attempt in a 1.0L Nissan Micra Automatic!
Quality!

I borrowed the 4.2 V8 Audi Q7 (talking of school-run 4x4s) to get home Tuesday
because I wouldn't have made it in my Cupra (240hp and front wheel drive don't
work on snow).
As a review, I have to say that the Q7 Quattro sysem is fairly poor - although
4 wheel sideways drifting is good fun, and when it does get a bit hairy you
just have to lift off and let the electronics sort you out. Turn the radio off
and listen to all the buzzing, clicking and rumbling of the ESP and ABS - it's
music to an engineer's ears.

Too true.
They should be asking all the school run 4x4 drivers why they weren't able to
get there kids to school. (Apart from the fact all the schools were closed).

That does sound fun.
But to be fair, Jim, many 4x4 owners don't actually know how to engage 4x4 mode.
Even if they get the right switch/gearlever, many forget to lock the manual
freewheeling hubs.
