Video: A souped-up JCB digger driving at over 115 kph is a pretty scary and impressive sight

Work would get done a lot quicker with this bad boy.

Work would get done a lot quicker with this bad boy.

The Fast and the Furious is a movie franchise about terrible storylines and souped-up cars that has made an awful lot of money.

Adding turbo and nitrous oxide (nos) to a car is one thing but adding it to a JCB digger is something else.

That actually happened in Australia and the modified black and yellow beast is officially the fastest digger on the planet.

The JCB reached a speed of 72mph (115kph) with 43-year-old Matthew Lucas on board. Hold onto your hat and watch it fly.

Pretty impressive eh?

By the way, typing “black and yellow” in the sentence above has left Wiz Khalifa’s song stuck in our head.

Join us in the catchy annoyance won’t you.
