Isle of Nan TT

Closer to the hedge

If you're missing your TT fix now that the 2012 event is over, this video will not help you one iota.

A lap of the TT circuit on mobility scooters, 'Closer to the Hedge' is parody experience that shows the blood, the sweat, and the leaking colostomy bags at the world's premier motorsport event for the nearly dead. 

Extreme Trifle are the team behind this parody: "Course completed in a new record slow time of 66 hours 13 minutes and 4 seconds at an average speed of 0.56mph though that does include pit stops for toilet time, tea and cake and snoozies.

"Our pioneering eco-friendly electric vehicle category race provided all the thrills of a trip to the post office but with zero-emissions (excluding flatulence) meaning that no polar bears slipped into the ocean for our entertainment."
