Video: BMW M5 drifts on the beach - BBC Top Gear


Video: BMW M5 drifts on the beach - BBC Top Gear: "This is BMW's precision driver, Wolfgang Weber, terrorizing seagulls and drifting the new twin-turbo M5 on Pendine sands.

Which has precisely nothing to do with the Olympics. But try telling the Bavarians that. Apparently, the video helps support the BMW London 2012 Performance Team athletes."

Outside Edge: Is that a rocket in your pocket? - Others - More Sports - The Independent

Outside Edge: Is that a rocket in your pocket? - Others - More Sports - The Independent: "Sofa, so fast

Last week Doncaster Council seized an 8mph mobility scooter which was being driven around a park at 60mph with a souped-up 140cc petrol engine. Here are some other unlikely racing cars:

Rev Darrell Best of Illinois turned a 1940s fire engine into the world's fastest wedding chapel, which can reach speeds of 62mph.

Glenn Suter's sofa, complete with coffee table, fruit bowl and a 1.4-litre Suzuki superbike engine, reached 101mphin Sydney in September.

Martin Bacon reached 75mph in a 1974 Rover SD1 3500 powered by coffee grounds at Elvington in September.

Don Wales reached 87mph, a record for a sit-on lawn mower, last year on Pendine Sands, where his grandfather Sir Malcolm Campbell broke the land speed record in 1924."

Farm plan for turbine | This is South Wales

Farm plan for turbine | This is South Wales: "PLANS to site a 112 ft wind turbine on a Pendine farm have been submitted to county planners.

The application, by David Tremellen, of Tremoilet Farm, is for a 55 kilowatt turbine.

The turbine, measuring 34.2 metres from the base to the tip of the blade, would be sited on a grazing field and be used to provide energy for the farm, a report for planners states.

The report states the site has a good wind speed and the Endurance model turbine is expected to generate 194.2 megawatt hours of electricity a year.

The application itself will be considered by county planners at a later date."
