Another New World Record??….for lawnmowers
The quirky Brits are at it again, trying to regain the record for the World’s fastest lawnmower, currently held by another quirky guy from the USA.
“Project Running Blade” hopes to take a “more-or-less everyday ride-on mower above 100mph (160kph)”. The current record stands at 81mph and was set in 2006 at Bonneville Salt Flats (the favourite haunt of many World record attempts-so this is serious stuff) by American Bob Cleveland.
SOLD! For a New World Record Price
Two Million Dollars? Four Million dollars? TEN million dollars? No, much more than that!
The US financial press have reported the sale of a 1936 Bugatti 57SC Atlantic to an unnamed buyer in California for between thirty and thirty five million dollars (US). If true, that’s a staggering amount, particularly as the Bugatti was purchased by the seller, the late Peter D. Williamson, a neurologist, for $59,000 in 1971.
Have our priorities changed when we buy a new car?
How much do you think about safety when buying a car? Surveys tell us that a new car buyer is taking a greater interest in how well a car has performed in reputable crash tests.
I know where that car comes from!
We have said that manufacturers are not required to state the country of origin for vehicles sold in Australia.
One of our bloggers, however, posted a comment saying that you just have to look at the compliance place to see where it comes from.
