A MAN who was the first person to pull a two-tonne car with his penis while on fire has set his sights on a new extreme record.
John Stephenson, 50, has announced plans to set himself alight again and drag another two-tonne car – but this time he’ll be using just his teeth and have items dangling from his eyelids.

The former British bare knuckle boxer is as he became the first man in the UK to pull a car with his penis in March.
In April, John pulled a car using his testicles, and the following month he became the first person on the planet to while on fire.
But he was frustrated that on the day, the windy weather meant he wasn’t doused in as many flames as he had hoped.
So this week, John, who splits his time between family in South Holland and , is out to test himself again with another hair-raising challenge.

John will pull a two-tonne French police car with only his teeth while on fire – and with objects attached to his eyelids.
He has previously pulled a car “five or six yards” using his teeth – but this time he will saw down a broom handle, tie it to a rope and bite hard in preparation for his quest.
John said: “I like to do these things to test myself.
“I’ve dangled bricks and iron bars from my eyelids before, but I need to think about what I’m going to use this time as I’ll be pulling a car and on fire at the same time.”
He will carry out the stunt this evening in Halifax’s West Bank, where parts of hit TV show Ackley Bridge were filmed.
Having also completed the penis and testicle pulls at this location, he is becoming well known to the locals who line the street to cheer him on.
During his previous stunts, John has used the attention to raise awareness of prostate cancer.
He said: “People think I’m a bit mad – but I like to set myself challenges.
“I did my research and nobody in the world has ever done this before.
“There is a serious side to it too – I’m raising awareness of and bullying in schools.
“I’m also raising for Ruddis Retreat in Huddersfield which provides holidays for families of children with cancer.
“I’ve pulled a car with my testicles before and I’ve pulled a car on fire – so I thought why not combine the both, but this time do it with my penis.
“I won’t lie – it did hurt quite a bit. But my mind was focused on being on fire and I just ploughed on and pulled it for around 40 metres.
“I doused myself in lighter fuel and the wind was against me a bit, so it took a couple of attempts.
“I’ve got a few marks down there, but everything is still intact, so hopefully no harm done.”
John also holds some world records, such as the machine gun punch for delivering 300 punches in 30 seconds with 1kg dumbbells in each hand.
He is a published author of a number of martial arts books.
