Winter Wednesdays: Slush

Jan 30, 2013

I’m not much of a slush fan. It’s dirty, wet, cold, ruins shoes, sucks to slide around in, and generally makes everything a giant grey soppy mess.

Thanks to a fair sized snowfall Monday, and steady increase in temperature to today’s high of 14° C, the city of Toronto is currently abundant with the watery slop.

Of course my issues with slush really have nothing to do with this Norwegian A4 Avant I spotted on Nick’s Car Blog a few weeks back which (unlike slush) is pretty solid.

I’ve actually somewhat considered the A4 as a future vehicle choice but I’m not sure I want to get into an actual wagon from a hatch…

winter_audi_1 — These wheels (which to my surprise are not Rotiforms) are painted in a season fitting cool blue

winter_audi_2 — The fogs and headlight overlays fit for winter

winter_audi_3 — Summer versus winter, hopefully both things taking residence on the roof get used…

You can find more of it here. His previous car isn’t too bad either.

Those look like 1 pc cranks, need I speculate more? The chainring is big and the handlebars are at an awkward angle. The huge dropouts are a clue it’s probably a cheapo or at least older frame. I’d love to be wrong but my guess is the bike is rack candy.

Dave, I forbid you from posting any A4 Avants from now on. You’re just making me regret not buying one. Please stop.
