"Man hits 100mph in his wooden-clad Passat" is a more accurate if not so tabloid-friendly headline.

Just in case you don't believe me about what we do in the UK, here's a racing sofa:
And a 155mph (yes, you read that right) skip:
Also it's on a Q-plate now, so chances are it's registered as whatever the hell Kevin Nicks wants.
Edit: Yep, it's registered as a "Fastest Shed" unknown model from 2016... and brown.
And a 155mph (yes, you read that right) skip:
Guinness World Records calls it a shed, and I'm not one to contradict Norris McWhirter...

If it doesn't reek of creosote and it's not used for storing a lawn-mower, some gardening tools, a stack of never-to-be-used-again plastic plant pots, half a bag of fertilizer, a 1/5 full jam jar of dried-up white spirit with a white-gloss coated paint brush stuck in it, some random rusty tools your dad gave you and half a dozen massive spiders. Then it's not really a shed.

Given the original state of the Passat I reckon it qualified before the shiplap bodywork

Christ put a lid on man.
No way I'd be on that sofa without full gear.

There used to be another many years ago. It was basically a quad bike with a shed built around it. It was on an old Clarkson video. Can't remember which one. Mid 90's. Remember it raced Ed china's Sofa (could be the one above?) and a skip (Not the one above). We also had the Andy Saunders built runaground. Again that was late 90's. That was a Reliant Regal? Chassis with the body of a boat. Actually got driven around in that when it debuted. Then we also have the fastest table in the world. Sure I've seen a toilet before and motorised beer kegs. Postman pats child's ride on (think that was the smallest road legal car in the world at one point) and the little tykes childs toy based on a Daewoo Matiz chassis. Oh and Pulse jet Go karts are pretty cool to. They're ones I can remember. Sure there are others.

I was totally expecting Colin Furze to be the one achieving this considering his YouTube channel.

Weren't those the names of the main characters on an '80s sitcom about unlikely roommates?

And here I thought that's what I was doing...I think I'm showing my age a little.
