Twenty-eight women gathered at the River Thames in London broke the Guinness World Record by fitting into a Mini car on Nov. 15, 2012.
The group of women from East Sussex broke two Guinness World Records when 28 of them managed to clamber inside a 2012 Mini, using every available space in the diminutive car including the dashboard, footwells and the trunk.
The previous record, of 27, was also held by the group and had been set last year.
For an encore, the women rushed to a TV studio to attempt the feat again, this time with a classic, much smaller pre-BMW-takeover Mini on live television. The result of that? Another new world record of 23 people, two better than the previous best.
The date marked the eighth annual Guinness World Records Day, which according to Guinness saw over 420,000 people come together to attempt to shatter records.
