MAFIKENG, South Africa (Reuters) - A South African became the world's fastest blind driver Thursday after driving across a remote airstrip at 269 kph (167 mph).
Blind since birth, 33-year-old Hein Wagner of Cape Town had a sighted navigator for his record attempt. After crossing the airfield, he told reporters he wanted to do it again but was considering piloting an aircraft for his next record attempt.
"I'm very happy," said Wagner, whose drive in a borrowed Maserati V8 GranSport was monitored by motoring organization Motorsport SA and filmed for the Guinness Book of World Records.
The drive, on an airstrip near South Africa's border with Botswana, was aimed at increasing public awareness of problems facing blind people and raising money for a national charity for the blind.
The previous record, set by a blind British bank manager, was 233 kph (145 mph).
"I drove it with no insurance. No one wanted to give any to us," Wagner told national news agency SAPA. |

I would think that of all the problems facing blind people, how fast they could crash a Maserati is not one of them.

Yep. Not seeing tits would be a bit higher on my priority list instead of driving.

No, that's not a problem, since you have to see said tits with your hands.

Feeling them and watching the jiggly are two different things. Now, feeling them while they are bouncing about is the win. |

I think you are all forgetting that the tounge is the best way to determine these sorts of things. Then again, getting a milimeter away and moving your head back and forth bobbing into them saying "bwub-bwub-bwub-bwub-bwub-bwub-bwub-bwub-" works well too.

On the other hand, it is a way of making the driver's blindness your problem, too. |

Signe, I am disapointed in you. I did not come to this thread expecting man love. I demand more boobies. NOW.

No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.

When did you go back in the closet? Equal opportunity. Besides I am more the metrosexual as opposed to homosexual. I do not enjoy the man beef despite what others may claim. |

We're not seeing your picture. We are seeing one of those "You can't link to images on our website fake images". I'm guessing it might display correctly to you because it is in your cache. A lot of websites are doing that nowadays, very annoying. The image says you should go to hell for "stealing" their bandwidth and wants us to email them saying you did so, I'm not kidding. You might be able to see it if you clear your cache or hit "Ctrl R" to reload the images anew. |

Man, would you all shut the fuck up ?
You're spoiling the perfect joke of a blind guy driving at 185mph.
To highlight the problems blind people face.
I'm still giggling.

But blind people can't see any pictures... unless they drive Maseratis... or something.
