There are some truly remarkable examples out there! Same goes for how many people can you fit in a Dingo/Universal Carrier/Jeep?

We could fit the entire scrum in my mini, some inappropriate touching required.

Oh please, you’re all amateurs. This is a daily occurrence back in SA. This Hiace is meant to only hold 12 people.

The Bolivians have a similar tradition. Although school kids are cheating, they fold up like origami.

You joke. I once saw a taxi where the driver had removed the steering wheel and was driving with a bobbejaan spammer (monkey wrench) in its place. He did this so he could fit another passenger in the drivers seat with him
