Matt Mckeown 55 drives the uphill course in his converted shopping trolley. Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb, Shelsley Walsh, Worcestershire, UK on September 04, 2016. This is the bizarre moment a petrol head competed in a motorcycle road race – in a jet-powered shopping trolley. Madcap Matt McKeown, 55, of Plymouth, Devon, build his wacky racer – which has a top speed of 80mph – from an abandoned cart he found in a ditch. He bolted on brakes, go-kart wheels and a 150 horsepower engine from a Chinook helicopter before taking it for time trials. Matt first set a record of 45.5mph then made several tweaks and broke his own record by reaching 71.4mph at Elvington Airfield in North Yorks. (Photo by Aaron Chown/SWNS.com)
