The creator of the world's fastest shed's latest invention goes wheelie fast.

Kevin Nicks, from Great Rollright near Chipping Norton, not only built the world record-holding shed but also the world's fastest wheelbarrow (travelling up to a speed of 53.85mph), the world's fastest motorised BMX bike and the world's longest mobility scooter, measuring six metres (22 feet).

The self-employed designer and builder's latest creation is a motorised domestic blue wheelie bin.

Mr Nicks said: "It's based on a mobility scooter but at the moment it's the only wheelie bin in the world that's taxed. It's got an electric motor because I'm very green even though it's blue.

"I can go on the road but I'm not sure what the police would make of it. Mostly I take it on a trailer.

"It's just a bit of fun. It makes people smile."

Mr Nicks has started a mobility scooter repair business doing sales and repairs but his interest in engineering started many years ago with Lego.

"I've always built things," he said. "Have I got a piece of paper saying I'm an engineer, no. But have I built things no one else has ever done before, yes I have."

He likes to cruise around on his world's longest scooter with its 'Long Vehicle' sticker at the back, and takes the shed to cheer people up in care homes and schools.

However, Mr Nicks is always disappointed when people don't see the funny side.

He said: "What is fascinating though is that when you post something on social media the negative people come out of the woodwork. I have a big following and I try to reply to them all but those people I shower them with kindness.

"I'm quite often asked what do I do it for - it's for fun!"

Recently he ran into trouble when he took the shed to Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm Shop - but couldn't find anywhere to park.

"The wheelie bin should be easier to park," he said. "I could park it on the trailer round the corner.

"But I probably won't take it there. I don't want to steal Mr Clarkson's thunder. If he were to invite me though that would be different."

He adores his work and hopes to continue his "crazy" ventures.

He added: "A lot of what I do is to inspire other people to go and do fun things.

"The secret to it all should be having fun and being silly!".
