Shed on wheels reaches record time

A man who built and drove his own shed has broken the speed record, according to timings made at the event.

Brian Cade, from Oxford, constructed the wooden vehicle named Ed the Shed, and reached a speed of 123 mph (198 km/h) at Elvington Airfield, in Yorkshire, over the weekend.

The previous record was set by fellow Oxfordshire-based engineer Kevin Nicks who clocked 106 mph (171 km/h) at the same airfield in September 2020.
