Well here’s another one for the Brits! They have retained supremacy in High-Speed sofas.
A few weeks ago, Marek Turowski drove a motorized chesterfield down a runway. He managed to attain a speed of 147 km hour.
The motorized furniture is made by Edd China, and believe it or not the sofa is officially street legal for driving! This new ultimate relaxation vehicle will be used to raise money for charity.
Turowski said of his feat: “It was terrifying. You feel every bump.” The previous record of 139 km/h was also set by a British sofa.
You’d think that it would have been a more comfortable ride would you? They’ll have to put more shock absorbers in upcoming models.

A woman in labor caused a high-speed train to make an unscheduled stop when the 21 year old woman gave birth to a baby girl in the restaurant car.
The train had been traveling between the capital, Lisbon, and the Countries second largest city, Porto, when the woman went into labor.
The ticket collector and one of the kitchen workers went to the womans aid, but a male nurse answered the call over the trains intercom system and ended up assisting the woman with the delivery.
The mother and baby girl were taken to the hospital when the train stopped at the first available station. The baby girl is to be baptized with the name Mariana. Both mother and baby are healthy and in good condition.
