I rode with Russ Swift at the IMM in England earlier in the year while he was doing this stunt and it was amazing.

Those are both awesome vids you guys! Thanks for sharing! It's amazing sometimes how certain topics will bring different ideas to the table. The wife and I have actually used bath towels under the rear wheels on a Mini in the garage to acheive the same result! With a smooth floor it's almost effortless! One pulls the towel(s) while the other pushes the side rear. With a little practice, you can do it in one swoop! I've got a photo somewhere of the '66 Morris Mini "Flame" sitting in it's special winter spot in my former two car garage, (here it is...)

While not a parking record in a classic mini, how about the most number of classic minis in a North American "ROUND-A-BOUT" at one time (all cars in the round a bout were minis-)

This happened in Mount Dora Florida during a mini rally run of CMU members 5-6 years ago-

I think Mike Guido has the pics but not sure if they were ever submitted to GUINNESS

We actually filled the whole round a bout with minis side by side and no one else could proceed thru-

Probably ?? some here will remember the R A B caper
