I wonder if it cost a shedload? I also found https://menssheds.org.uk/ UK Men's Sheds Association, the support body for Men's Sheds across the UK.

DonPeffers Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 UPDATE-- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-44054814 The Fastest Shed smashed its previous 80mph (129km/h) record for the fastest shed at a land speed event at Pendine Sands in Carmarthenshire on Saturday. Owner Kevin Nicks said it was "marvellous" to hit 101mph (160 km/h) in what he said was the only road legal motorised shed in the world. "It couldn't have gone better, I'm so happy," said the 53-year-old gardener. Mr Nicks, from Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire, spent more than £13,000 creating his bespoke shed on wheels, which now boasts a turbo-charged 400 brake horsepower engine that is more powerful than many sports cars.
