Clearly toes are no longer any concern - but with balls the size of yours - you'd better be real careful

Had trouble keeping the seven out of the flower beds when I took it for a few trial laps last week.

Wouldn't a V6 sink in to the lawn? But I must admit I can see the point. Especially as in the UK lawnmowers are exempt from SVA regs. There is another legal advantage but I won't go into that.
