World Record Mini (pic)

Someone just posted this on my myspace and so I decided to share it. I am sorry if it has been posted before, but 21 people in a MINI is pretty darn impressive.

Before I posted it, I searched "21 Persons" and "World Record" and that pic did not come up in the results. But in terms of breathing, who said anything about these people being alive?

The sudden increase in air pressure might also blow out the windows... and then you would probably have bodies flying through the air like MINI shrapnel!

I bet they had to open the sunroof to get someone's arm to fit. I think I see a hand out the top even though the top seems closed.

So, you're tryning to tell me I've gotta have 21 people in my car to get it that low?

Son of a B#*^%!!! There goes that idea. At least I've got H&R's on there now and those will have to do.

But on the other hand....

Couldn't find more details, other than that it's probably organized by http://fred-m.com/
More car cramming records, http://www.recordholders.org/en/list/carcram.html, 438 students in a bus? I want to see that.

Maybe the HOV lane rules are really strict there!

Oh, BTW, It takes a PW/B MINI to set the world record.
