The smallest roadworthy car measures 25 inches high, 2 ft 1.75 inches wide and 4 ft 1.75 inches. It was created by Austin Coulson (USA) and measured in Carrollton, Texas.

The largest drum kit is a 5.2 : 1 scale replica and was created by Drumartic (Austria). It was presented and measured in Lienz, Austria.

The largest rideable bicycle has a wheel diameter of 10 ft 9.92 inches and was built by Didi Senft (Germany) and measured at Pudagla, Germany.

The tallest rideable motorcycle measures 16 ft 8.78 inches tall from the ground to the top of the handlebars. It was constructed by Fabio Reggiani (Italy), and the motorcycle was ridden over a 100-meter course at Montecchio Emilia, Italy.

The farthest distance skateboarding by a goat was 118 ft and was achieved by Happie of Fort Myers, Florida. The distance was completed in a time of 25 seconds.

The largest collection of vacuum cleaners belongs to James Brown (UK) and consists of 322 models, housed at Mr Vacuum Cleaner, in Heanor, Derbyshire, UK and in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, UK.

The fastest 100 meters wearing high heels (female) is 14.531 sec and was achieved by Julia Plecher (Germany) on the set of Guinness World Records – Wir Holen Den Rekord Nach Deutschland, in Europa Park, Rust, Germany.

Leilani Franco (UK/Philippines) travelled in a backbend position a distance of 65 ft 7.2 inches in a time of 10.05 sec at the Royal Festival Hall in London, UK. A human backbend consists of only the participant's hands and feet on the floor, with the arms extended above the shoulders and head, with the back completely arched.

The largest collection of Star Wars memorabilia is owned by Steve Sansweet (USA), who has amassed an estimated 300,000 unique items at Rancho Obi-Wan in northern California, USA. To date, only 68,592 items have been accurately audited and catalogued – a figure sufficient enough, however, to beat the previous record by a factor of three. Sansweet estimates that the cataloguing process will take years to complete, as the collection continues to grow.

The largest walking robot measures 51 ft 6 inches in length, 40 ft 5 inches in width, 26 ft 10 inches in height and was made by Zollner Elektronik AG (Germany) in Zandt, Germany. It was displayed in Berlin, Germany.
