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

have goals in life and if you keep pushing and pushing you'll get

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.

In that case, the 2250 level (on Nifty) will be breached easily to form a new low. The possibility of that low being below the 2000 levels on the Nifty spot is fairly high,” he says. Bhambwani supports his outlook by comparing the value of rupee at the time of October lows. “The October 2008 lows were made with the INR at 51.20 - 51.40 band. The rupee has breached the 52 level since then. Clearly the nation’s ‘share price’ (currency) indicates weakness. The curency market is a far more accurate barometer of the nation’s health compared to the equity indices. Whether you like it or not, we are under siege. Had it not been March (NAV ...
