Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Last weekend Project Runningblade set a new speed record for lawn mowers at Pendine Sands, South Wales. Driven by Don Wales, this modified lawn mower managed to reach a speed of 86 mph (137 km/h). That’s 11 km/h faster than the previous record.

What next? Project Runningblade is going after 100 mph (160 km/h)! Impressive considering this modified lawn mower can still cut grass.

That takes some balls! On a similar vein, i came across some guy on you tube with a turbo converted to a jet engine on a ride on lawnmower. Completely bonkers! I love it!
