Alpine adventure in an Audi A6

As baptisms of fire go, the Audi A6's arrival on our fleet has certainly been leaning towards the inferno end of the scale. No sooner had it arrived in the office car park, was it heading straight back out again on a 1,500-mile, pan-European jaunt to catch the last of the ski season in the Alps.

Our relationship was definitely in its infancy when I pointed KX17 YVY towards the Chunnel – in fact the Gotland Green Avant still had less than 200 miles on the clock – but I thought what better way to get to know 'my' new car than a 13-hour trip to the mountains?
