heading down to the snow, burning down the highway, stopped off at the big ram thing lol then as we pulled out, started hearing some popping coming from the the front right when ever i accelerated, got up to the turn off to COLLECTOR when BANG, speedo goes up to 190 revs maxing out, pulled over n was like "wtf?" called my dad, he's like "yeah drive shaft gone, i'll organise some ****" so after waiting an hour n 15 for a tow truck (spending most of that yelling obscenities at my car, threatening to set it on fire etc.), got it towed to Audi Centre Canberra, my dad rolled up in his Q7 (**swear filter?** sexual car!) then he drove me n my mate mike up to the snow while my baby was getting repaired, got a call from Audi a few days later telling my they fixed the drive shafts but still needed to open up the gear box (cost $450 just to open it up to find out whats wrong with it) then i get another call telling me my diff is **swear filter** or something, so yeah, all up, cost me $1700 tow inc. ahhh good times, but yeah, all repaired now, and im trading it in within the next month... woo hoo

Bad luck to hear it mate, glad it had a happy ending.
