Manjit Singh

A really strong old man has set a new record after he managed to pull a huge Double-Decker bus with his own hair while people watched. 

Manjit Singh, a 66-year-old grandad has broken his 57th world record after towing a 12-tonne double-decker bus - with nothing more than his tiny ponytail.

Strongman Manjit Singh smashed the previous record of 9.5 tonnes set by another man in 2010 when he hauled the Arriva bus 15.5m (50ft) on Monday.

He had previously held the record after he pulled an 8.5 tonne coach in 2009 before another competitor took his crown the following year.

Manjit had four failed starts at Braunstone Leisure Centre car park in Leicester because his hair was "too shiny"after he washed it.

The dad-of-three's other Guinness World Records include setting the furthest distance a single decker has been pulled by the ears.

He managed to drag a single-decker coach 6.1m (20ft) in Loughborough, Leicester, in 2008.

Manjit, of Highfields, Leicester, said: "My hair is very shiny because I washed it this morning. It kept slipping three or four times, but we did it.

"The hardest record was pulling with my ears though."

Manjit added that he wanted to thank Arriva for lending him the bus and thank Braunstone Leisure Centre for allowing him to do it on the premises.

His wife, two daughters, son and grandson supported him as he smashed his latest record.

John Wright, general manager of Arriva's depot in Thurmaston, Leics., was behind the wheel of the bus while it was pulled and said: "It was a brilliant thing to see him do."

Manjit's friend, Steve White, who has supported him since 1983, said "Manjit never, ever gives in. It is about physical prowess and mental concentration.

"I think he is a great role model."
