Annals Of Achievement–Will he Take His Cane?: Steve Cunningham, a 41-year old Brit, is planning to take his Ferrari 355 GT out next month and push it past 180 miles per hour. Hey, why not? That car is made to be driven at ridiculous speeds. Well, there’s one slight wrinkle. Cunningham is stone blind. Blind, you say? Yup, since the age of 12. Okay, readers of TWC with really good memories will be familiar with Cunningham, who last appeared on this page (scroll down toward bottom) when he was attempting to become the first blind man to pilot a plane around the United Kingdom. At the time he also owned the blind land speed record (set in a Dodge Viper) and the powerboat record. It’s his land speed record that he’s out to break. Good luck, Dude, but maybe it’s time to come up with some new ideas, like maybe the blind downhill skiing speed record. We’ll be there to watch…



“Woo-hooo! Err, am I still going straight…?!”
