Most
toys on a car - world record set by Bruce Mitchelson
SUTHERLAND, Australia -- Motorist and Cronulla
Sharks NRL team supporter Bruce Mitchelson
has decorated
his old Toyota Corolla with almost 500 stuffed animals, (300
stuffed toys on the outside, and around 200 on the inside)
transforming it into an overgrown, fully drivable toy and
setting the new world record for the Most
toys on a car

From a string of bumper-bar giraffes, through
an array of teddy bears to a Kermit the Frog perched on the
roof, Mr Mitchelson's car is adorned with almost 500 toys.
The decorating began in September 2008,
when the diehard Cronulla Sharks fan painted his car in the
team's blue and white.
"I added Sharks toys, but they've barely
won a game since. I hope I'm not a jinx," he said yesterday.
"It started as a hobby and then I thought it
would look funny to add more toys and it just grew from there.
"I collect the toys from garage sales or council
clean-ups and at one point I was adding about a dozen a day
but I'm starting to run out of room now."
More
than 300 toys are stuck on the exterior, and Mr Mitchelson
estimated that there were up to 200 inside. But, despite the
colourful distractions, he said he had been given the all-clear
by police.
"I've been pulled over several times but once
the police have checked it out I've been given the green light.
As long as the side mirrors, lights and number plates can
be seen I'm fine," he said.
