My girlfriend has just been given...a company Prius. It's apparently ready for her to collect tomorrow. I wouldn't mind so much but her boss wafts around in a Bentley Brooklands. I've already told her that it will have to be parked around the corner. I'm wondering what surreptitious measures I can take to ensure its unfortunate destruction. This rules out use of my old Land Rover (too obvious). I'm not very scientific but have a clear memory of the wanton destruction wrought on a school ampmeter by a carefully connected series of lab packs. Anybody have any helpful advice?

Attach a smoke machine to the exhaust so it looks like it's polluting. Might even put some people off them wink

Can you park it badly for the binmen to take a swipe at it?

Or just pay the binmen to take a swipe at it. Regulary.

Funny thing bin lorries. Firstly, they hit all sorts of parked cars because thats part of their job. Secondly, they have random bits that swing out and hit park cars when they go round corners.

Crate of beer for the guys on the bins, and job done.

HTH.

My advice would be to totally abuse it. Drive everywhere at a very brisk pace.

This will expose the fact that Toyota are liars about the fuel economy and you can do your bit by spreading the word, based on legitimate experience, that the Pious is a con-trick.

Are you allowed to drive it?

Rag the fk out of it and get the fuel consumption as low as possible. Thereby completely negating the OH's employers their only possible excuse for buying one.

Just don't let your mates see you in it paperbag

Damm. Beaten to it again .D

Fit a bad boy exhaust to it and take it to your local Greenpeace meeting.

Sadly not, all damage will have to accrue from the passenger seat. However, may be able to pass on some operating advice to my girlfriend scratchchin

Similar process to a Pious battery, but I'd feel irresponsible divulging the how smile

Being an 'eco-car' does it have a 'hot air' bag?
