Ha! That Metro strech looks like something the guys on Top Gear would make.

Coincidentally, I saw a YouTube vid of it a couple of days ago, filmed on the road in the wild, and the camera operator had no idea what it was. Mystery solved!

What is it about the Metro? It's the canvas for so many bizarre projects (eco & otherwise).
