    Without also mowing the front-room carpet, the cat, next door's dog and car, and any passers by? Not sure, but it would be pretty quick.

            This[^] cutie does 226 km/h without cutting blades and 194 km/h with them. But that's been timed on a racing track, not a lawn.

                Quite so. But the other so called record was done on a beach. Big difference?

                    Strange - why don't they just test speeds on lawns instead?

                      Poor accelleration and not long enough lawns is my guess. Golf course owners would probably be biased against speed tests.

                        there is a difference? I assume google.co.uk converted to real miles for me :)

                          There isn't, actually -- but everything else in the US is smaller (pounds, ounces, pints, cups, etc.), apart from miles and mouths.
