Fast Food... Motorised Table Breaks Fastest Furniture World Record
A wacky car fan has proved he has the fastest food by breaking a world speed record - with a motorised table.
Perry Watkins had the previous record for fastest furniture for lunch by topping out his table at 113mph. It beat a motorised sofa which managed 92mph.
The hobby mechanic whipped up a storm at Northamptonshire's Santa Pod Raceway on Sunday (5 Sep).
He was required to take two runs in an officially-timed flying quarter mile to dish up his time.
And Buckinghamshire-based Perry made sure his speedy spread - which he named Fast Food - came with all the trimmings.
It featured a delicious-looking dinner for six - complete with succulent roast chicken as table centrepiece, under which the driver's head pokes out.
Other ingenious flourishes saw exhaust fumes exiting two silver teapots, rolled-up napkin brake lights and, most impressively, flame-spewing teapots.
There were also six wrought-iron chairs, lace-effect plastic tablecloth, and, being a road-legal vehicle, the tax disc was neatly displayed on a champagne ice bucket.
He also included a Stig-like 'diner' kitted out in driving overalls and white helmet - although any resemblance to a mysterious perhaps-soon-to-be ex-BBC driver are coincidental.
The design was based on a classic Reliant Scimitar sports car chassis, fitted with a fuel-injected 4 litre Land Rover Discovery engine.
It also received a full-calorie kick thanks to a NITROUS OXIDE injection - the fuel used by Fast and Furious street racers - which boosts power from 150hp 180hp.
Perry, a sales director at high street shoe repairer Timpson, said: "I had to drive the table at speed over two runs for the official timers.
"I had reached 103mph in earlier test runs so was overjoyed that my table managed an ...

What were they thinking? Fashion Disasters
It would seem that even the most fashion conscious of celebs can have an off day.
The stylists of these dreadfully dressed divas were obviously not around when they stepped out of the front door.
If they had they surely would have uttered that immortal line: "You're not going out like that!"
When left unattended there's no end of fashion faux pas a star can commit when looking for a 'stand out from the crowd' outfit.
But then looking fabulous 24/7 is something not even the most dedicated of A-listers can achieve.
And navigating the tricky minefield of fashion can be tricky at the best of times and pure style suicide at the worst.
Your 'unusual' outfit can just as easily be feted on every best dressed list as see you plunging to the bottom of the reject pile.
All of which goes to show that not even the hottest stars are immune to the odd fashion disaster.
