This is not.......
I repeat for effect.....
NOT
a shopping trolley.....being ridden at 44mph.
This is a go-kart with a shopping trolley cage attached being ridden at 44pmh
Next time you go down to your local Tesco, look at the wheels on the shopping trolley.....any shopping trolley..... do they have go-kart wheels ? .....do they have a solid chassis ?...... do they have an engine fitted ? do they have batteries fitted ? no......
In which case it is not a shopping trolley.... even the builder of the said go-kart-cum-trolley acknowledged in the article that it......had undergone much modification.
So Mr BBC reporter who ever you are, next time the headline should read.....
Much modified Shopping trolley with go-kart wheels, ridden at 44mph in Devon man's 'record'
as he's enjoying bit of renaissance
this is my SoD
