Off Their Trolley: Duo Build World’s Fastest Shopping Cart

A PETROLHEAD has built what he believes is the world’s fastest shopping trolley, which he has affectionately dubbed the ’Shopper Chopper’. The custom creation, made by US patent office clerk Calvin VanSant, 52, from Pennsylvania, is also the world’s only street legal drivable shopping trolley. The current official record for the ‘world’s fastest shopping trolley’ is 45mph (72kph), set by British-based petrolhead Matt McKeown in 2013, but Calvin’s cart does 50mph on the motorway and he says it has a high speed of 80mph. At a height of 10ft, the trolley is surprisingly lightweight, weighing in at just 1.3 tonnes - the same weight as a small family car - and has a V8 engine.  To find out more, visit: http://shopperchopper.com/ Videographer / director: Shopper Chopper LLC Producer: Bunmi Adigun, Ellie Winstanley Editor: Marcus Cooper Subscribe to the Barcroft Network: Barcroft TV: https://www.youtube.com/user/barcroftmedia/featured Barcroft Cars: https://www.youtube.com/user/BarcroftCars/featured Bear Grylls Adventure: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzcUNwS7mypzPhW4gsjO7og/featured For more of the amazing side of life: For the full story, visit BARCROFT.TV: http://cars.barcroft.tv/ Like BARCROFT CARS on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Barcroft-Cars/588082827969567 Follow @BarcroftCars on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BarcroftCars Check out more videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/BarcroftCars/videos
