21 Students Squeeze into Mini Cooper
Students from a college in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, claim to have set a new world record for the number of people crammed into a Mini.
Twenty-one of the students squeezed into the old-generation Mini Cooper in just four minutes, with two petite women fitting into the tiny boot. They then stayed in place for 20 seconds, as demanded by the rules of the Guinness Book of Records - and then repeated the stuffy ordeal for a local TV crew which had arrived too late to film them first time round.
The students were, as stated in the rules, all over 1.5m (4ft 11in) tall and were, according to a participant, all 'skinny to average' in build. They beat the previous record, set by 18 British women in 2000 and are now awaiting formal ratification of their result from the Guinness officials, having sent off video footage.

20 people in a MINI? and here I was worrying how I could squeeze seven people in my Honda Civic.
