Road trip Russia-Belgium Jan 2-5 filmed w/ Nokia phone

400 litres 98 RON, 12 litres of wiper fluid. Average speed 79 km/h. Driving from our flat in Moscow to my home in Belgium. Only filmed bits and pieces but it was pretty brutal at times. Latvia in the dark seemed like a nightmare that wouldn't end. Lithuania a little better. Poland generally OK but lucky that the gigantic moost standing half onto the road as we passed at 100 km/h decided to just keep standing there.

super scary...I guess it's hard to maintain the highway in winter conditions...in the US they are generally in better shape

@dopamine83 for the most part it's because it's a road in the middle of nowhere. It's very long and through a completely unpopulated area for 99% of it. There's always roadworks on it but by the time they've fixed the worst bits I guess there's other parts that are completely busted

What were there no curves on the roads.

The type of roads I like you hate it seems like.

I have some winterdriving with a real volvo on my site.

@effidrin its no fun if its 18 hours in 1 day and you need to do 1100km! Few hours can be fun, when you start to get tired its a lot less fun to concentrate.

@JCviggen1 I understand.Seems like your AUDI did a great job anyways. I would prefer an SUV 4 wheel drive but your car did OK.

@JCviggen1 I see what you mean

I find it strange to see a foreigner calling Polish roads "decent". Looks like us Poles are the last ones to have anything good to say about them. Glad you got home safely! I bet the trip would've been less comfortable in the 850... :)

Wow it looks beautiful there!!!! Definitely a trip for an awd vehicle! Although much faster on dry roads with the 850 T-5R!!! lol
