Well like it says I had 6 people in the mini this weekend... we were traveling in to dc about 6 miles and nobody wanted to drive or take there are.. so, with a little thought and motivation we all go into the mini, which would make finding a great spot to park even easier. there were 2 people over 250lbs in the car, they took the front.. (me being one of them.. with the seat up but drivable.. we folded the seat down in the back, and two people sat FORWARD with there feet in the foot wells,, then two people got in behind them facing backwards, putting there feet in the boot and using each other as back rests... there heads were close to the ceiling but it wasn't too bad... we could have had one more person sitting facing backwards if they had been thin enough.. I as throughly impressed with my handy work.. I also tried three people sitting backwards and one side ways, that isn't too bad but they way mentioned above is a superior fit. I just wish I had my camera with me!

Nice "3rd row" of seating! I'm impressed; I thought for sure that you were going to say you had someone sitting in someone's lap in the passenger seat.

So, did you smoke any WRXs at stoplights on this particular journey?

Cool. I can beat it though. I was 1 of 13 people in a Classic Mini. 2 of us were 300 pounds. 1 was about 70.
We (I) drove it about 10 feet. Was very crowded.

Holy Moly! Is the 7th strapped to the boot? Glad the big guys were in the front! Size does matter!
