Pimped penny farthing made from tractor parts...

I'm not a great fan of cyclists as a rule, but seeing this Dutch chap's pimped penny farthing made from tractor parts, could change my mind...

There's a cool video on YouTube too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnxoQshddDk (this is the Chinese version as couldn't locate the other one for some reason.)

Firstly, I'd like to apologise for the distinct lack of posts over the past few weeks. It's been a bit of a hectic time - Cereals, European press trips, me moving house and finally me stacking my car this week (picture below). Yes, it was my fault and no I wasn't paying enough attention. On a more positive note, everyone was ok and it's only my insurance premium that's to suffer!

It got me thinking that perhaps us machinery journalists are better at writing than actually operating - this is my boss's Peugeot after running into a police car (yes, really!) last November.

To continue my pink theme, I've just had this picture from the guys at New Holland. Just goes to show that there's more pink kit out there than you would imagine!

On another pink-related note (I will try to get off the pink track soon!) - the landlady of my previous house, Liz Higgs, is cycling from John O'Groats to Land's End as part of a team taking part in the Deloitte Ride Across Britain. Obviously, any team tackling a challenge like this should have a support vehicle, and this one is tastefully wrapped in... PINK!

Called 'Angels Delight', the team of three will be raising money in aid of ParalympicsGB. To see how they're doing and to sponsor them click here: http://www.justgiving.com/angelsdelight
