    Ten kids in a Mitsubishi Mirage!



    The Australian newspaper "The Warwick Daily News" crammed ten kids in a Mitsubishi Mirage and asks its readers to top that.

    "Pile as many people as you can into your family car like sardines, snap a photo, send it in to us at the Daily News and go in the running to win a $50 Woolworths voucher and six bonus Win A Car coupons".

    Haha, that Mirage is riding pretty low in the back. Sounds like fun.

    21!! Obviously nobody with claustrophobia participated! Must have been skinny kids, too.

    The most for me was 12 or 14 in a 1st gen VW Golf (Rabbit)... which I actually then drove somewhere (a couple of km). I think one of the people in front had to change gears for me.

    Yes back when there were not many large kids about. I had thought it would be funny if we drove to the local Mcdonalds drive through and ordered 21 big Macs
