Not sure how many of you will have heard of this but I am competing in the 12 Hour Lawn Mower Race again this year.

Sounds sedate but its absolutely anything but.

12 hours overnight with mowers approaching 60mph with no suspension to speak of.

If you are localish, its well worth a visit. Have a look at the website here - http://www.blmra.co.uk/

Jodie Kidd is starting the race this year.

Have a look at this video from last years race. I am in team "Get Set Mow" (I wanted to call it Coup De Grass but no one else thought it was as clever as I did.
We were number 13 last year and feature in a couple of places on the video.

We are number 8 this year with "Yellow Peril Mk2" which is a freshly built mower hoping for a podium finish.

Enjoy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4c85oKqBkE

Didnt realise so many of you were going to Beaulieu....... otherwise I would have dropped by. A friend of mine went down in a NSX (won 2 in show on the day).
