Or he can drive away in a pristine car with a spoonful of sugar in his tank.

Plenty of other fun methods

Bleach in the oil tank (dissolves seals)
Polystyrene in the fuel (melts then turns to concrete in the ignition chamber plus basically youve made napalm)
Water in the fuel
Grinding paste in the oil
Dot5 new or used (silicone in the fuel system ruins most sensors and produces loads of smoke)
From memory oil in the fuel will ruin the cat as well

All depends how much he annoyed you and shorty

Nice to-do list Step.

step83

I aim to please, thats the safe list. Plenty of not so safe things you can drop into the tanks etc.

If your feeling feisty the heater/blower resistor on most cars gets very hot so taping fire crackers to it can liven up someone journey no end

pinno

So creative.

That made me chuckle

Keep pouring a bit of oil/brake fluid on the ground when it's parked up so he has to keep looking for the "leak"

Kill him, don’t harm a car

Whatever happened to the good old fashioned spud up the exhaust pipe or a bit of fish in the cabin air intake vent?

Well, well, well, well, well.

Karma?

You couldn't write the script.
Took the toots and the OH 30 miles up the road to the park, beach, had an ice cream.
On the way back twit face ^ was ahead of me. I passed him but didn't get far as there were road works.
Sat behind a Honda and a Volvo after that. they weren't hanging around so I elected to stay behind them - not much in the way of overtaking opportunities anyway (especially with family in the car, if you know what I mean).

I followed for the next 10 miles and overtook the Honda on a straight. A car passed me on the right and then twit face decided to overtake the car I had just overtaken 'ooh look, he [meaning the above] is really travelling', I said to Mrs P. I don't know what it was, perhaps a swipe, perhaps a bit of Willy waving but I was doing 80 clicks and he looked like he was way over the ton mark.
Just as soon as he almost goes into my back bumper before moving to the right hand side of the road and boom - huge plume of grey smoke out of the back of his car. Now he's a distant dot in the rear view mirror but limping along. Bad place to stop I guess. I pulled in to the link road that links the A75 with the A77 so as to get behind him. I followed him (4 cars back) doing 25mph all the way into town and all the way, blue smoke pouring out of the exhaust until eventually, he pulled over.

Went out with Shorty after dinner on a recce to all the local garages to try and find the thing but no avail. I'll get the gen off the recovery lads tomorrow.

I'm not sure who comes out worse of this story, Porsches or Porsche drivers?

(Quite like the new 992 Turbo S btw, just needs the lightweight package and it'll be ace. The new 992 GT3 looks promising as well).

Lightweight? It's already 1615 kg's without. 515bhp, top speed 212 (restricted), 0-60 in 2.7s. £154k. It's the car to end all cars. Find an unmodified Ferrari/Lambo/McLaren/Buggatti that will match it on price and performance. You won't.
What's your tank weigh?

Just checked AE07 RRV at DVLA - run out of road tax.
I suppose if you're not driving it for propulsion reasons...

Yep, you get a few GT3 type goodies like bucket seats, carbon roof and lose 30kg: those std seats aren't bucket-y enough for me (which the Panzer does very well)

Mine weighs about 1,750kg but its not trying to be a lightweight. 700nm at 2,000 rpm and 510hp makes it nippy enough on the road, one of the few cars I have never felt needed modding.

I love the Porker seats - it is a daily after all.

Daily buckets are fine as long as you're not too old to get in and out of them...
