lol nah people have been making those forever, the one on Top Gear wasnt there till 2008 when Jeremy made it from the remains of one of his BMW challenge cars. The one above is the more traditional style with the pistons/rods holding up the table top.

Heres one from 2006

this was my first plan, but i cant justify buying nice wheels to not put on my car, and stock wheels would be weak...

id say its about 80-90 lbs... not too bad, but easy with 2 ppl to move.

I'm planning to make one out of an old airplane radial for a circular coffee table. Maybe have a smaller diameter glass top where the propeller goes, and BOOM lazy susan for mah chinese famiry dinnah.
