Russians don’t need SUV/4x4s to have fun in the snow

Might be worth muting the sound as the commentary is from Goggle Translator I think
Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

Funny! I think the Volgas where made for presidents

I noticed that at minute 6:02 of the clip that the Dacia Duster is apparently being as Renault Duster in Russia. (Has the Renault logo on the front) 22MY Defender 110 (actual) | 10MY Freelander 2 (history) | 15MY Discovery Sport HSE (history)

2013 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS DCPU Keswick Green

I think it shows what good tyres can do, irrespective of the number of driven wheels.

Good stuff.

Quite a few lessons there.

Number one being the fact that the skill of the driver is as important, if not more important than technology. (The Discovery driver demonstrated that well).

And if you bulldoze snow and come to a stop, do not sit there with wheels spinning and dig yourself in. Back off as soon as you stop and then charge at it again.

I wonder what the Ruskies think of the UK coming to a halt in half an inch of snow?
