No, not me, honest.  Returning from the road run at the 2000 NMCR which was held at Emberton Park.
I have had six in the Scootacar returning from the Pub but couldn't shut the door  :D
There is a brilliant cine film clip from Gordon Hill's 'Bonds in the 1970s' showing a MkG Estate with, I think, a family of
seven and a roof rack and camping gear in every day use, utterly brilliant.  Sadly safety and busy roads would not
allow this to happen now.

Somewhere exists a picture of Alan Town and friends crammed into his Trojan. Number forgotten. It was in CruiserNews
