Speed up your grocery trips with a rocket powered shopping cart

I'll confess that I hate shopping. Nothing to me is more boring than meandering the aisles of the local Stop 'n' Shop, comparing the prices of name brand vs generic waxed beans.
Andy Tyler from Beccles, England must feel the same way, but he's done something about it. First he built a gas and liquid fuel pulse jet from scratch using instructions he found online, then he strapped it onto a shopping cart he found in a river. With its 50 mph top speed, you should be able to get through even the biggest Walmart in just a couple of minutes, which is a good thing, seeing as that's about how long the fuel lasts.
