Honda claims world record with its 116-mph lawnmower

bugs in your beer fast

According to Albert Einstein, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Smart man he was, but I feel he neglected a key measure of insanity: The speed of one's lawnmower.

With the exception of Acura's upcoming NSX, Honda hasn't made a fast car in sometime. Perhaps that's because it's been focusing its efforts on building a lawnmower capable of claiming Guinness' world record?

Hitting 116.57 mph, Honda's "Mean Mower" has officially become the world's fastest lawnmower, besting the previous record by almost 30 mph ? despite falling short of its 130 mph target. Ridden by Piers Ward from Top Gear Magazine at the IDIADA Proving Ground in Tarragona, Spain, the top speed run was measured over a 100-meter speed trap, under the watchful eyes of Guinness. To make it official, the run had to be repeated in both directions within an hour.
