No joke, back in my senior year (several years ago) in HS,  my poor old '67
spit (RIP) transported 11
people to a party after a football game.  Thank goodness I had a roll bar
for people to hold on to.  I remember shifting
was fun :)

'78 spit now (no more than two people at a time now!)

We once fit 8 full adult sized people in my girlfriends Mini-seats and all.
Of course, we got stopped by the Carabinieri and told that half of us had to
get out. It was 2 am! We met down the street at a pub, had a drink and all
got back in for the 40 min drive back home. I always felt that whole evening
was an achievement! <G>
