In last week's show the boys dabbled with modifying mobility scooters. Jeremy created a Siamese scooter with eight wheels and four-wheel drive, James added a generic electronic tablet and coffee dispenser, while Richard added tank tracks and lots of noise. But frankly this all looks a bit rubbish in comparison to what a man from Stamford has drummed up.
Colin Furze, a man who has a history of professional tinkerage, has fitted a mobility scooter with a 125cc engine from a motorcross bike. This makes it the fastest mobility scooter... in the world. No, really. It is actually the fastest mobility scooter... in the world. The official record men at Guinness have verified it and everything.
With the recent picturesque blanket of snow that covered the UK, Colin decided to tear it all up with a bit of sideways action. Which looks a lot of fun but very scary.
But whose scooter is better? Jeremy's, James', Richard's or Colin's?
A 70mph mobility scooter… on snow
Jeremy thought his eight-wheeler mobility scooter was fast. He should try this...

Yea, but if you turn slightly too much at something like 40mph you'll just roll over and die, this is pretty dangerous, but a lot of fun!

How has Stirling Moss not endorsed this? He's even mentioned that he gets infinitely more use out of his mobility scooter than cars these days.
