Default New record for world's fastest toilet on wheels

Sounds like a load of crap to me

Quote:
A new and unusual land speed record has been set in Australia - for the fastest motorised toilet.
Canadian stuntwoman Jolene Van Vugt recorded a speed of 75km/h (46mph) in Sydney, beating the previous record by 7km/h.

That would come in very handy if you've been on the Tetleys then followed by a Vindaloo

So, if I were to collide with one of the motorized toilets on the road, would that give a whole new meaning to "hitting the head"?...

Now that they've broken the record, I guess they're flush with success...

The record being set in Sydney makes me wonder if its the crappiest city in Australia :P This coming of course from a bloke who lives in Melbourne which I consider the best city in Australia. But then I don't have much to compare it to. Adelaide's a bit of a hole, Brisbane is too posh and up itself, and all I've seen of Sydney is the skyline as we landed at Kingsford Smith on my way through multiple times. Then there's Tasmania, and the less said about anything down there the better.

"Nice place for a village" Quote attributed to Batman founder of Melbourne.
But on the plus side you've got Dame Edna, who's a zillion times better than Clover Moore.
Back on topic, they should make dunny racing an Olympic sport.
