Anyone ready for a quick spin?







Russian Tunnel -- Read First, Then Watch ...



The Lefortovo Tunnel in Moscow is one of the deadliest tunnels in the world. It runs under the Volga River and connects to the airport. Check Wikipedia for more interesting history and information about this 3.2 km tunnel which opened last year.



This tunnel is the longest in-city tunnel in Europe .. There is a river running over it and the tunnel's construction allows for water leaks into the tunnel at some points. When the temperature reaches minus 38 degrees like it did this particular winter, the road freezes and the result is the attached video taken during A SINGLE DAY within the tunnel !! This is better than turn 4 at Daytona and Remember -- this is only ONE day!!



Definitely a "hats off" and congratulations to the dual bus driver, and I still don't know where that second truck came from!!
