Those guys LOVE caulk. Caulk, caulk, caulk. In their faces, in their hands. Caulk all the time.

BTW, who takes a mini-van to Siberia?

I am IMPRESSED! The cables looked very thin, I thought they were going to break but they held. With this video and the ice recovery the Russians are looking good this week.

Russians, obviously.

BTW, looks like any other ordinary day in Russia to me, at least that's what all the Russian videos that I've seen would lead me to believe .

If the Russian dash cams are at all true, a typical day in Russia involves death.

I'm pretty sure Russia is what happens when Australia gets snow. It seems to be, anyhow.

duh, just cut the line on the side of the river they just came from. Russia car suspension can handle 8-foot vertical drop no problem.

In reply to irish44j:

Your logic is flawed. In Soviet Russia, car drop you.

From the looks of the rigging, this isn't the first time it's been done!

How the hell do they get it back, that was downhill...

The Russian version of TopGear may be the best one out there!

Edit - wow, there was a Russian version!

Google scares me.

You know the "Meanwhile, in (place)" meme? There's some good ones for Finland, Michigan, Sweden, etc. I decide to see if there's one for Russia.

Google Autocomplete had nothing but Russia in the list of terms, as soon as I was halfway through typing "Meanwhile".
