A Welshman claimed the first milk van speed record on Thursday after zooming at 73 mph - - - - in a souped-up electric machine.

Electric milk vans, called "floats," - - - - are one of the quintessential features of British life, designed decades ago to run in silence, so - - - - the legend goes, to avoid waking slumbering citizens when the milkman drops - - - - off pints of milk at dawn.

The floats have not been - - - - known for their speed until Welsh milkman Richard Rozhon got - - - - behind the wheel of his brand new Electron E150 on a track at the Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome - - - - in central England.

Rozhon was at something of a - - - - loss to describe the experience.

"It's - - - - a radical designed futuristic vehicle," he told us by telephone. "Something sort of out of the space - - - - age . It's a futuristic looking milk float."

Rozhon said he - - - - set the speed mark with no milk bottles on board, but guessed it could go nearly - - - - as fast when fully loaded.

Another team tried to set a record in a conventional float on the same day - - - - but barely got - - - - to 50 mph.
