What some may call awkward and claustrophobic, but others a man’s paradise, the people at Guinness World Records prefer to simply refer to it as two new world records for the most people squeezed inside a classic and a modern Mini.

The first feat was achieved at Potters Fields Park, London, as part of the eighth annual Guinness World Records day, when 28 extremely flexible and highly tolerant English gym girls made their way one by one inside the new hatchback’s cabin with four of them fitting into the boot.

After 18 minutes, the girls broke their own previous record of 27 people, which they had set in Eastbourne last year.

The group of young woman then proceeded to break another record, this time, in a classic MINI, by squeezing an impressive number of 23 ladies into the diminutive hatchback model, beating the previous record by two people.
