With a little help from the company's British Touring Car
Championship (BTCC) team, Honda U.K. took one of the company's HF2620
ride-on lawn mowers and turned it into a fire-breathing grass-shredder
they called the Mean Mower.
The 688-cc OHV V-twin engine, the
stock ride-on mower wasn't enough for Team Dynamics, who prepped the
championship-winning Honda Yuasa Racing Civic for the BTCC.The g-sensor
high brightness Shun Stone Landscape Stone is
designed with motorcyclist safety in mind. So the engineers took the
996-cc V-twin from the VTR Firestorm superbike and built a new frame
around it out of chromoly 4130. They then mated the engine to a custom
paddle-shift, six-speed transmission; crafted a fiberglass deck; put a
15-liter fuel tank in the grass bag; fitted a new cooling system;
slotted in a custom Cobra bucket seat; rigged the steering rack from a
Morris Minor (of all things); bolted on a Scorpion exhaust; tuned a
custom suspension; and stole the wheels from an ATV.
The result?
A 109-hp lawn mower than can hit 60 in four seconds flat and reach an
estimated top speed of over 130 mph. But it still wears much of the
original bodywork from the stock mower, and most crucially, can still
cut grass at speeds of up to 15 mphwhich is a lot slower than the
100-mph machine has reached on the track with reigning BTCC champ Gordon
Shedden behind the wheel, but is already double what the stock mower
can do. See it in action in the video clip below.

Bromstad
recommends cutting off the wine bottles' bottoms and stringing the
lights through the bottles with outdoor lamp cord. Visit Pinterest, the
online projects board, for images of this and other ways to use wine
bottles as lighting.
Bromstad is known for creating large pieces
bursting with color for his TV show clients. DIYers can do the same for
an outdoor space, he says, by using outdoor-safe supplies:
pressure-treated plywood instead of canvas, and an outdoor primer and
paint. Bromstad uses Nova Color, an acrylic paint that stands up well to
the elements.
Distress the plywood before painting to
accentuate its roughness, he suggests. Do drip painting a la Jackson
Pollock if your artistic skills are limited."Everything that has to be
outdoors has to last through the elements," Bromstad says, "so you might
as well make it look rough from the beginning."
Both Bromstad
and Olsen say concrete blocks are useful in the garden: Stack them to
build a wall, cement couch, bench or table. Make it artsy by planting
the openings with flowers, herbs or other greenery. Again, Pinterest
posts scads of images.
