Make sure it's pointing in the right direction.
My mate set fire to his wife's prized rose bush.

reading the post i understand you've put 10 years of development into this mate . i'm sure you'll do it . well done .

what are you talking about?! this has been the best hedge trimmer i have ever bought!

i first sat down and started to design the board and how the engines would mount back in 2002. back then it was just a single engine but i did design it with an afterburner. after the Englishman beat me to it in 2008 due to no one wanting to jump on board something like this in Australia, meant that the poms not only set the record. but then broke it a second time in 2010. it was then i decided to say stuff it, i am doing it myself, sponsors or no. so i went to to the bank and got a huge personal loan. three months later, i went back so i could afford the second engine. i even told the bank what i was going to use the money for and they just had a laugh as if not believing me haha. all in all it has been a massive journey just to get it to this point. i still feel i have a very long way to go but i know i will do whatever i need to to get the land speed record to Australia.
just a side note. the Englishman is going for it again, he has a formula one team building his board for him and a TV program paying for it all. the one advantage i have is my two engines and afterburners..... and the fact i am a little crazy hehe.
