A
UK man has smashed the world record for 'most cars pulled by one man'
by dragging 14 cars over a distance of 18 feet and two inches. Simon
Plant, 42, of Findern, South Derbyshire, pulled a rope attached to 14
Ford Fiestas, weighing 20 tonnes combined, at Motorpoint in Derby,
earlier this week. He pulled the cars over a distance of 18 feet and
two inches, breaking the previous record of pulling 12 cars over 15
feet, 'derbytelegraph.co.uk' reported. Plant said this was his third
attempt at the world record. "I wasn't going to give up. We all
have goals in life and if you keep pushing and pushing you'll get
there. It was a tough challenge but thankfully it was a case of third
time lucky," Plant said. Plant previously held a world record 11
years ago when he pulled a 30-tonne truck a distance of 100 feet.

When it was agreed that discussion will take place as per schedule, Aiyar remarked he was not interested in listening to the speech by BJP member. "You had given me the chance to ask a question
