9. Smallest Car In The World -- Guinness World Records 2014
The smallest roadworthy car measures 63.5 cm (25 in) high, 65.41 cm (2 ft 1.75 in) wide and 126.47 cm (4 ft 1.75 in). It was created by Austin Coulson (USA) and measured in Carrollton, Texas, USA, on 7 September 2012.

The vehicle is licenced to be driven on public roads with a speed limit of 40 km/h (25 mph). The paint work is themed after the P51 Mustang military aircraft and the sides are inscribed with the tail numbers of a ship that the record holder's grandfather served on during WWII. It is often driven during local veterans' military parades.

10. World's Fastest Back Bend Walk -- Guinness World Records 2014
Leilani Franco (UK/Philippines) travelled in a backbend position a distance of 20 m (65 ft 7.2 in) in a time of 10.05 sec at the Royal Festival Hall in London, UK, on 11 March 2013. 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.

She also holds the fastest contortion roll over a distance of 20 m (65 ft 7.2 in) in a time of 17.47 sec. A contortion roll requires the contortionist to start with their feet on the ground before arching backwards and propelling themselves forward in a chest-down roll.

Finally, Leilani also holds the record for the most full-body revolutions while in the chest-stand position in one minute with 25. This physically demanding exploit requires the contortionist to lie with their chest against the floor and with their back arched in such a way that their legs stretch over the body and the feet touch the ground in front of the face; the legs then make a full revolution around the body before returning to the original starting position.

11. World's Largest Collection of Star Wars Memorabilia -- Guinness World Records 2014
Steve Sansweet (USA) has amassed an estimated 300,000 unique items at Rancho Obi-Wan in northern California, USA. As of 15 May 2013, only 90,546 items have been accurately audited and catalogued -- a number sufficient enough, however, to beat the previous Guinness World Records figure by a factor of four. Sansweet estimates that the cataloguing process will take years to complete, as his collection continues to grow.

12. Colonel Meow - Longest Fur On A Cat! Guinness World Records 2014
Meet Colonel Meow, the furriest feline... He holds the Guinness World Records Title of Longest Fur On A Cat, with 22.87 cm (9 inches)!
