Spotted at Laughing Squid is an link to the Jet Powered Go-Kart developed by Colin Furze.
From the linked YouTube video summary:
So it's finished and it's brilliant, it's stable it starts easy and the fuel system after a slight redesign (see website) works perfectly. Top speed so far is 60mph but i run out of airstrip so might be more in it.
More details are available at Colin's project site. Colin is also known for previously developing this Jet powered bicycle.

Do you consider someone who designs toys to not be an inventor? I would never say anything like that as I have seen some seriously crazy toys.
He conceived of his own toy and made it happen.
Would I build something like that? No.
Not everything has to have a serious point. Sometimes the point is to screw around and enjoy what you can do. I spent months ripping 2k in dvds. Why? Because it was interesting to me to have an on demand media library. Yet I could *just* as easy get off the couch and pop in a disc. Now everyone who comes to my house enjoys my media center.
