Path to Rzhev

We have argued here with a colleague who is no relation to the cars do not have, as riding in the back seat of the main Audi S8, they say, why go all the surroundings of Moscow - what's good? And then delineated statistical and ideological rift between those who simply goes on soft sedans such as the A8, and the owners of cars like the Allroad. One wears a suit or black denim rags of Italian designers and the other in everything from Barbour - corduroy pants, jacket, boots and even nepromokayka. One does not like to leave the city and if goes, so only their friends - to give young governors who can be called the estates and manors. Another likes to ride in the surrounding monasteries, churches and estates have not yet destroyed the former generations of the Russian aristocracy. Instructive spectacle. In general, Allroad - machine for those who like to breathe fresh air and not cigarette smoke, the Moscow clubs. For those who know exactly what the world begins to ring nepuganyh roads. Truck Allroad is not the first month on long term test in the wording of "Autopilot". Initially, we were interested in the technical specifications of the car. And we detail, like a mechanic in the garage, recording details such exciting as the presence of emergency vehicles included "dokatku" on alloy wheels. Day after day, were records of fuel consumption and sadness when smart electronics did not allow the wheels to spin at ditches family. That's how - we're used to slip, but she does not want. Together with the Allroad stated unjustified rise in prices for gasoline and speculated, but where are now the money is going, if they are taken away from patrons? In general, met in earnest. True, so far fingers sometimes slip off the button switch to "manual" box, which sometimes creates a nuisance on the road. But soon, his hands will get used. And now we are more interested in stylistic aspect Allroad. Starting with the fact that on-road car is actually very high quality speaker system Bose. It is combined with good sound insulation and quiet powerful engine of 4.2 liters to allow busy streets and empty road, in dark alleys and in the garden of the villa to listen to any music that has come up with humanity, not just a group of "Leningrad" at full power. On this machine you can hear John Cage, whose plays without music played here this morning in Moscow. Speaking of music. We always stand for the sleek, in fact the idea that for every type of human activity are certain types of vehicles. That is, for business and decent seats - one for the weekend - other, for sport and active recreation - the third. And if possible, should not in any case go for the SUV-size H2 and the big wheels in some neat place. For example, where are the last concerts of John Cage. (Cage, simply fell by the way.) Because all already know that we should not cut in a jeep in the direction of the restaurant "Semifreddo", as well as in the direction of restaurants easier. Even in cinema, if cinema is located in the city, do not. But somewhere in a super-duper-mega-mall - please. All will be well in the American spirit, though, with the filing kontrpropagandistov, America - now the concept of a swear. But we all know ... So, Audi Allroad - present a real compromise between the styles. Because the same machine looks like a decently at a business meeting (with some features of your personal style) and on forest paths. That is Allroad - it's a tank in a frock coat. Among Strangers. In addition, my colleague, who can not steer the car himself, but loves to read our magazine, began to make allusions - they say, good for the mother-to carry Allroad krupnomerov. To this I had nothing to say because I never drove on the roof boards and mattresses. In general, at one time changed the SAAB 9000 Aero Subaru Outback for only to have decent ground clearance and ability to quickly and safely ride. To view the Central Russia, not only on the false plots television. And the last thing I thought I'd have to drive this car to the mother-. Besides, she already lives in the Rzhev, about which I know only the depressing poem, that's all there died. But my colleague has already started, and I had to go, at the same time practicing the track from Moscow to Riga by car Audi Allroad. And while well-wishers advised to load the car with something useful, such as potatoes, we decided that the Allroad does not fit stylistically with the potatoes, as well as with other agriculture. Therefore, the maximum that we came up with, it threw into the trunk of summer clothes and grandson went to the 230-mile trek. At the same route M-5 is divided into several sections, which fit well into the universal concept Allroad. The first part of the route Moscow-Volokolamsk (100 km) - an excellent multilayered way, where you can accelerate to almost any speed, which is capable engine. This changes the clearance may be reduced to its lowest level, and the air resistance will be quite small. And the speed, security and above. On this site the machine is low, smoothly and quickly. Since it does not even try to butt filthy "Nine," whose drivers are typically the most nightmarish part of humanity. In the Volokolamsk we decided to make a break and visit cultural Yaropolets - estate Goncharov (mother-in Pushkin). Here Chernyshev - in poor condition. But you can appreciate the imagination of the then mayor of Moscow Chernyshev - as it on the turrets and PEYRELEAU new Russian design. All ended very badly: when the mayor died, his widow - at that time one of the richest women in Russia - has decided to convert built here Drama in the church. Aesthetically stunning results you can see from the window of your Allroad, not just lunge into the sediment. In a small expedition, "Know and love our land," we needed a high ground clearance, and we clicked on the button cherished increase ground clearance. Incidentally, the first such systems were observed in cars Subaru in 80 years, were still surprised by the elegant solution to the problem of roads and parebrikov. Since then, Subaru has refused for some reason the variable ground clearance, but the Allroad has blossomed with the idea. The plot of the M-5 from Volokolamsk station Shahovskaya (another 54 km) is marked by a sharp narrowing of the canvas, and then Allroad starts in a different capacity. Because of the narrowness of the road to overtake a car has to jump out of the range and drastically accelerate. 300-horsepower engine copes with this task easy. To a question that you more - money or your life. But the ability to speed maneuver - is not only a cheap show-off boys in leather jackets. This is a real help for survival on Russian roads. Soon the trail ends near Moscow, Tver province begins. - Here you will find that nothing swearing on the road near Moscow, which turned into a memory Germanschiny highways. Coverage is deteriorating, the road is reduced to the width of two cars, and rutting can feel the train engineer 'Red Arrow'. If you are going to meet the truck (there are an infinite number), then only Allroad maneuverability allows you to get away from the murderous trailer, which hangs on the slopes of TIR'ami with an amplitude of half of the remainder of the road. In winter it is generally the road of death, and out here it is only necessary for people trained or completely fearless. For the rest there is Allroad. But since we are on the instructions of colleagues still go to the mother-in, the next 75 miles overcome with confidence. We drive to the resort area of ??pine forest, the dry and rough trails which can easily get to the Volga River in this SUV, as our test. By this time the tank is already beginning to thin out. Refuel anyhow where we do not advise you - sorry for the car. Is that a try at the entrance to the city, next to a police postom.Nu here, hello, mama, but where are the dumplings?
