Besting his own "world's fastest office" in both comfort and speed, this souped-up sofa from furniture-modder Edd China laid claim to the top spot in the Fastest Furniture category in the Guinness Book of World Records over the weekend, reaching a top speed of 92 miles per hour. Sofa-driver Marek Turowski (who won his place in the driver's seat in an eBay auction) described the record-setting run as "terrifying," adding that "you feel every bump... worse, you feel like you might take off." What's more, the sofa is supposedly street-legal, and will apparently soon be motoring around the streets of West London to help attract potential sofa-buyers to Sofa.com (which, sadly, only seems to sell stationary sofas). Of course, no one breaks sofa speed records without taking a camera along, the results of which you can see by hitting up the video after the break.
Good Idea

In case anyone was curious, the creator of the sofa is Ed China (The tall guy near the radar gun) he also did the road legal 4 poster bed. The short guy with the mockney accent is Mike Brewer - together they present Wheeler Dealers on Discovery Turbo (Europe)
Engadget's not liable to take a story like this sitting down.
Good work by Edd China and everyone at comfybanana! Well done mate!
And it pays for its own operating costs by using the change lost in the seat cushions
