Remember back in January when Alastair Moffatt set the record for the World’s Tightest Parallel Park?

If not, perhaps it’s because that record has been set and reset multiple times.

So what about doing it in reverse?

Leave it to none other than Moffatt to try to put his name on a second page of the Guinness World Records book. On Nov. 12 -- Guinness World Records Day -- Moffatt attempted the stunt in a classic Mini Cooper at Brooklands in England. He reset the record with just 34 centimeters (13.4 inches) to spare between two other cars. He beat Ronny Wechselberger’s old record by just one centimeter (0.4 inch).
