Lawnmower land speed record
Yesterday I brought you news of the latest developments in the world of the land speed record for cars. Today comes the early details of another, and some might say sadly overlooked, record attempt - The World's Fastest Lawnmower.
Yes, just as the chaps working on Bloodhound SSC hope to break the 1,000mph barrier, so those fine coves over at "Project Runningblade" hope to snatch away the lawnmower speed record from the Americans by going over 100 mph.
Here's hoping that they are shear class, a cut above the rest and put the Americans out to grass(!).
