Manjit Singh, Leicester’s own Iron Man, has set his 68th world record to celebrate turning 68.
Two years ago Manjit dragged a double decker bus across the car park at Braunstone Leisure Centre and on Wednesday he did the same thing – because the first time didn’t count.
He explained: “When I did it last time I was told I didn’t send Guinness World Records the proper certificate proving the weight of the bus. That time it was a 10.3 tonne bus and it should have set a record but it didn’t count
“As I had to do it all again I decided to use a heavier bus and the one I pulled this time was 12.2 tonnes. It should definitely be a record now.”
After attaching his hair to the front of the bus with clamps, Manjit slowly dragged the Arriva bus 24 metres across the car park in Hinckley Road.
