Actually I've found a way of economising on the Flymo thing but leaving the effect intact. I noticed you can purchase 90 min cassette (available in the "Astro turf" Accessories" brochure) of lawn mower noise which you can play whilst the pretence is in duration. I believe my modest gramophone system with cassette deck will produce a convincing enough racket. Of course I will need to position the speakers to maximise the effect.Originally posted by the_faceman@25 June 2003 - 18:15
Astro-Turf is NOT fun when you do a sliding-tackle playing football. On normal grass you get a grass-stain, on astro-turf you get a blood-stain usually.
But, hopefully you won't be having much more than a kick-a-bout on the lawn, unless it's really big. I think it's cool, although the astro-mower is taking it a bit far...i didn't even know they existed. A waste of electricity too, because i imagine it still has a motor to produce the sound or else it's pointless. well it's pointless anyways. i've got a feeling you're pulling our collective legs over the mower part.
