Records are there to be broken, right? Even more so if it"s grabbing your own record back off someone else. Scroll back four years and Top Gear and Honda earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records by driving a mower at 116.575mph. We"d obliterated the old record, scared ourselves witless in the process and, a bit like Bloodhound is hoping to do (in our minds at least), thought we"d moved the game on so much that no-one would ever dare challenge us.Ah. Not quite. We didn"t bargain on some blokes from a Norwegian tuning firm who, only the following year, went and smashed our record. Using a V8 out of a Corvette - the lunatics - they did 134mph on a modified Viking/STIHL T6. The cheek.Well, now it"s payback time.
