I made a Hamlet go pop once. The owner had parked it in an ashtray while he nipped off to the gents in the pub we were in at the time, so I inserted a couple of tiny rope bangers in the end of the over publicised tobacco product and, when he relit that thing following his successful evacuation session, the Hamlet didn't half go pop.
Just in case he didn't find that funny enough, a couple of us then borrowed a potato from the landlord of the pub and hammered it as far as we could get it into the exhaust pipe of his - then absolutely split new - expensive German luxury car. Sadly, he found that quite unfunny too. Some people eh?

when i was young & foolish my parents friends would visit & after they had returned from the pub my brother & i would jack the car off the ground so it wouldnt go anywhere.. sprouts under the seat & confetti in the air vents were just some of the naughty pranks we would play on them

To be fair JPB, you sound like you were quite the d*ckhead!

Ouch! Fair comment but let him, who is without sin, etc..

And in our defence, the potato was a more amusing way of preventing a drunken scummer from driving than calling the polises would have been, especially on the island after the causeway was already covered by the tide.

Oh well in that case, i totally condone the potato up the tailpipe. I take it your weren't tropical enough for

Please stop putting ideas into my head!

Either that, or Tailpipe Man has fallen out of love with the Range Rover in that rude video..
