We went to the stables in our 3 week old brand new A6 a couple years back. (an automatic I may add). The wife reversed into the space, took the seatbelt off, opened the door and climbed out.....leaving the car in reverse without the handbrake on, with the engine running. I stood in astonishment as my pride and joy happily trundled backwards, breaking through a gate and driving itself across a field, backwards. if it wasn't for the grass bank at the other end of the field, I thing the car would of carried on until it ran out of diesel......... And all the wife was concerned about was the horses escaping!!!
