The car consists of an actual dining table mounted on a small sportscar, and uses a nitrous system to remove excess air. The dining table car also featured real dishware, as well as authentic-looking foods on its tabletop.\nWho: Perry Watkins, a sales director from Wingrave, England, currently holds records for the world's smallest and lowest street legal cars. In approaching the world's fastest furniture speed, Watkins simply wanted to beat the previous world record of 92 miles per hour.
