The Tightest Parallel Parking – Guinness World Record of 27 cm
You think you’re a pretty awesome at parallel parking, don’t you? Well we all do really, it’s in the blood, but now one kiwi male can actually lay legitimate claim to being the world’s best at parallel parking.
Local hero Peter Bell has parked a Toyota Corolla in a space that’s just 27 cm longer than the car, on the set of the NZ Smashes Guinness World Records TV show at the North Harbour Stadium in Auckland. He didn’t just back it in nice and gentle either, Bell ripped up the handbrake and put the Corolla into a 180-degree spin into the park in one tidy piece of work.
The previous record for the tightest parallel parking was held by the Chinese and it was set at 32 cm, which represents the space remaining between the parked car, and the two vehicles in the front and at the rear. Bell’s first attempt took him to a new tightest parallel parking world record of 31 cm. The following attempts got him even further setting the new Guinness World Record of 27 cm.
Watch the video below to see the record breaking parking and to see the show’s host Mark Ellis almost wet himself with fake excitement.
Top 10 Most Expensive Car Crashes of All Time
In the article there was an attempt to review the most expensive world car crashes. No matter it was done by a celebrity or not it still remains attractive when a beautiful metal horse was wrecked. Here is the list of 10 world famous and most expensive car crashes:
1. Jay Kay, the leadsinger of Jamiroquai band, happened to destroy his beautiful magenta Lamborghini Diablo SE30 (estimated $360000). Kay couldn’t manage the control when trying to turn. He was thrown onto the edge of the road as well as fined £750. But we don’t care for Jay. And here is the result of the car crime. The magenta horse … or what was left. Next time, Jay, buy a new exotic hat instead, it will be less expensive.
2. Charming mean girl Lindsey Lohan seems not to put much value to her black friend Mercedes-Benz CLK-350. She broke the car trying to escape the paparazzi. Oh yeah, she proved to be a real mean girl. If she were a good girl, she wouldn’t be hunted by these people. The celebrities can easily buy or crack any car. The actress also decided not to fall behind. They say easy come easy go …to the service parts. Bye bye, my little toy car, hope, we’ll see you on the heavens. It’s interesting if she deals with the men the same way.
3. Mr. Kerimov was listed as one of the richest individuals by the Forbes. Suleyman Kerimov is a Duma Member. Mr. Kerimov, 40, the owner of $7.1 billion treasure, once guessed he couldn’t be worse than the US celebrities. He bought a luxurious Ferrari Enzo car. When driving it after the rain he ran into the tree near the seashore in Nice, France. The car was traveling at high speeds though the maximum speed allowed there was only 35 miles per hour. And we see the result of crashed $ 1.2 million.
This used to be a good car…

It is usually so, but things can get a little boring when you do everything by the book. The result is that most of the people do all kinds of things in their car. This image series shows a creative outbreak of what extraordinary positions you can find yourself in while driving.
