Off-road Jeep course opens outside Moscow

[TerryMason]

Visitors can choose from one of three models, a Grand Cherokee, a Compass or a Wrangler, to ride on the course. Features include 30- and 45-degree inclines, which prevented me from seeing anything except the hood and the sky as we neared the top, an uneven dirt road to demonstrate articulated axles, and a stepped decline for use with the Wrangler.

The speeds are deliberately slow to emphasize the machines' abilities, but climbing over a cement hillock with 30-degree slopes on either side - to the point that only three wheels were touching the ground - was still quite the rush.

I would have expected something a little more extreme from Russia, but it is good to see Jeep boosting their international presence.

I bet a Jeep is pretty darned expensive there.
