World's fastest motorised toilet hits 46 mph

A very unusual land speed record has been set for the fastest motorised toilet.

Stuntwoman Jolene Van Vugt got to 75km/h (46mph) on the loo in Australia.

Jolene, from Canada, beat the previous record by 7km/h and was flushed with pride.

She said, "I flew into Australia yesterday and came out here to jump straight on the toilet," she said. "That was so fun and I'm stoked to get the record."

There were some problems earlier when the chain fell out but the toilet was quickly repaired.
