This was probably constructed by the symphonic composer Arthur "two sheds" Jackson in an Idle moment between TV interviews.
Or perhaps not

A motorised shed has broken a land speed record after its owner hit 100mph driving along a Welsh beach.

Kevin Nicks, the owner of the "fastest shed", said he was delighted to break his previous record of 80mph (129km/h) while participating in a land speed event at Pendine Sands in Carmarthenshire on Saturday.

"It couldn't have gone better, I'm so happy," he told the BBC.

Over the years, the 53-year-old gardener has spent more than £13,000 creating his motorised shed, which he claims is the world's only road legal motorised shed.

Though he initially created the shed in 2015 from his broken down Volkswagen Passat with the goal of simply driving around the local area, he soon became interested in pushing it to its limits.

Mr Nicks has made previous attempts to break the 100mph barrier, and a recent upgrade has finally allowed him to do it.

"I entered a few speed events and basically floored it. I hit 80mph to break the record, including the Guinness record. But it blew up so it needed some work," he said.

He credits the addition of an Audi RS4 engine with the "magical moment" when he broke the record at Pendrine.

"I've spent all winter doing it up and putting in a new engine and suspension, it's so quick off the mark," said Mr Nicks.

A shed cracking 100 mph..?
Mr Nicks clearly knows a thing or two about aerodynamics!

A former aeronautical person would disagree, and a quick look at a reference that deals with land-borne vehicles would permit him to calculate the horsepower required - if I could be bothered!

Yes; I had my tongue firmly in my cheek!

It is registered under the "Q" plate number above with "fastest shed" as the make and a 2782cc engine. It's passed an MoT test a couple of times which must have been worth witnessing!

Not sur where you would find a garage with a lift wide enough to get that on...
