I'm sure you will all join me in wishing Spinner the very best in his heroic bid for the World Land-Speed Record.

Spinner will be manning a highly dangerous parafin fuelled rocket in a reckless attempt that has been condemned by Shetland Municipal Council as 'suicidal.'

Good luck m8. We will miss your posts.

Yes i heard about this. You’ve really got to respect the guy for giving it a shot, although I’m sure he will have done plenty of research.

Good luck Spinner!

Oh, by way, will have an address to send the flowers to shortly.

Thanks people...

Been away practising all day, having a few issues finding a part of the island flat enough, so it may end up being the combined land-air-water record...

Nice!

Lol spinner

Careful this time tho. We don't want another 'incident' on our hands.

That poor whale.

It never knew what hit it.
