This happened back in December but I have only just noticed it on the BBC Surrey website. :)

Staff from Kingston Technology and Currys in Croydon decided to try to break the world record for the number of people you can fit in one MINI. The current world record stands at 24 people in one new MINI and was set by Allstar Cheerleading Team in Auckland, New Zealand on 25 July 2009.............
