Think you're an expert at parallel parking? Think again.

Reversing into a tricky space is one thing, but British stunt driver Alastair Moffatt has a whole different technique: he reverses as fast as he possibly can at the space, busts out a casual 270 degree turn, and then comes to a perfect stop in the tiny gap (with a mere 34cm of combined space to spare either side of his bumpers). Moffat now has the Guinness World Record for "Tightest parallel parking in reverse", and if that's not something to put on your CV or resume we don't know what is.

Wonder how many Mini Coopers he got through before he perfected his technique?
