That's my Granny up there on that bike with wings.......

.....sang Billy Connolly on the theme tune to Supergran in 1985, well my Gran doesn’t have a flying bike, but she totally ripped it up at the esteemed Goodwood racecourse in a Lamborghini, a Ferrari and a Porker (not pictured, because they suck).

She clocked up 135mph on the straights, that’s 217kmh in new money.

She’s 90, in fact, she’s well into her 90s. And she makes awesome raspberry jam.

She has the lifeforce, and I have her haircut, so be my reckoning I’ll be powering a Bugatti Veyron round the M25 in another 62 years.


(My Gran is not called Beryl, in case the colloquialism escapes you)

    WTF are you serious ?

    Your granny is freaking nutter/legend.

    Was this for TopGear or has granny taken one too many happy pills and needed more thrills in her life ?
