No need to overthink and argue the toss about it. Quote Link to post

You tried to make yourself look super intelligent after I said hares do not run at 45mph, you basically tried arguing against my point but now you're confirming what I said. Animal speeds quoted are mainly done so by word of mouth with no science to back it up, people just repeat what they've read or been told, again, anyone with a runner and a motor can make an educated guess. I've posted the BBC clip of the greyhound reaching a maximum speed of 43 mph, so, I was correct, Michaela Strachan was wrong when she said hares run at 45 mph. If you want to keep arguing the toss I'm more than happy to do so. a pure saluki was clocked at 43 mph for guineas book of world records greys have been clocked over 50 Quote Link to post

And you can't get much faster than a whippet over 150 yards. the no ped whippet has greyhound in it that’s why one can hit them times 1 Quote Link to post

Greb, I've always called you 'relentless' because you just are. But now, I'm not so sure who is exactly the most relentless, you, or Magoo?! Edited June 1, 2022 by shaaark 1 Quote Link to post
