A US inventor has created a 70mph, jet-propelled toilet.

Inventor Paul Stender, 43, made it out of a rickety old portable toilet and a 1,000bhp Boeing turbine engine bolted on to a go-kart chassis.

Two tiny holes in the door let him see where he's going - as a 30ft fireball roars out the back of the £5,000 machine.

Paul, who also has a jet-powered motorbike, takes the Port-O-Loo to thrill crowds at race meetings near his home in Indiana.

He said: "I used to keep a toilet roll inside to make it look really authentic.

"But I soon found that wads of paper got sucked into the engine which was dangerous. If it sucks in paper it could explode - and me with it."
