100 mph on a lawn mower? Yes and still capable of cutting grass (Video)

There are speed records pretty much for everything that moves. Current record for the lawn mover is 80.79 mph (130 km), set by Bob Cleveland at Bonneville Salt Flats, USA, in 2006.

Now Project Runningblade is trying to set a new record on 22–23 May 2010 at Pendine Sands, South Wales. Powered by a Kawasaki V-twin engine this lawn mower can still cut grass and if all goes planned will be able to reach 100 mph (160 km) next weekend.

The Runningblade will be driven by Don Wales, and in addition to claiming the record for Britain, the project also aims to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital and Wessex Heart Beat.
