Perry Watkins from Buckinghamshire has set what he hopes is a new world record for the fastest piece of furniture and it just happens to be a Queen Anne dining table.
The table, complete with dinner trimmings, reached a top speed of more than 113 miles per hour.
via BBC News - Dinner at 100 miles per hour.
In Great Britain, a speed demon hit the road with all the comforts of home.
Perry Watkins, 47, is going for a record on a race track, but his vehicle of choice is a Queen Anne table complete with a silver service.
It hit an average speed of nearly 114 miles per hour, peaking at 130.
Guinness must still ratify the data. The table is competing with a record of 92 miles per hour set by a speeding sofa three years ago.
Watkins says the biggest challenge is the ever-flapping tablecloth.
