NORWICH, England — Raising thousands of pounds in the process, body building paramedic Ross Filby, pulled an Aldi A6 rapid response vehicle for 3,511 metres, making him the world record holder for an unassisted solo car pull, beating the previous record of 3,200 metres.
All in aid of Norfolk Accident Rescue Service (NARS), with whom he has volunteered for six years, he is now resting at home after the endeavour which raised £5,000.
The Guinness World Record rules for the event allow 24 hours for completion, but the 37-year-old only took four. Beginning at 9.30am, he powered through to complete the monumental task by 1.30pm.
