Car gets cut in half by outraged man

TREDWORTH, England, May 12 (UPI) -- An outraged British man said he sawed his son's car in half after local authorities clamped it for no reason.

Ian Taylor, 40 of Tredworth, England, said he was so upset to find his son's Ford Fiesta was impounded, he was prompted to use a power disc cutter to chop it in half to stand up for his beliefs, the Sun reported Monday.

Taylor said the car was registered to be parked off the street, but the clamper nailed him because two inches of the back end was sticking out of the driveway.

"I had to make a point. The vehicle was totally legal where it was. It was a drastic step but I stand by my decision," Taylor said.

Taylor said he told the clampers they could take the back end of the car because it was the section that violated the rules.

Haha, that's pretty funny. I'm sure it was pretty easy to cut the Ford in half. I'm sure the tow guy's face would've been priceless when he saw the car.

Lol, pretty funny stuff. Still though, you'd have to be pretty angry to saw a car.

rawr · 05-18-2008, 11:05 PM

Hmm.
That would be one hell of a prank.

mr.handsomeman · 05-19-2008, 08:56 AM

Not sure, but then again, that car doesn't cost much, and the tower's expression would be well worth it.

Techy Dude · 05-19-2008, 01:15 PM

stupid clampers 2 inches id cut him some slack noones gonna nail a car thats 2 inches outta the driveway

mk1000 · 05-19-2008, 01:44 PM

Thats so crazy. Cool as well. You need to have some excess money to toss around if you want to cut a car in half for your beliefs... and that guy didnt look like he had all that much money driving that sort of car.

Great, so now in addition to the parking ticket, he has to pay for a new car. Great thinking, that'll show 'em.

I still don't see the point, this guy is stupid. I don't like him.

Spicy Meatball · 05-21-2008, 07:22 PM

this guy needs anger management counciling.

Pierce28 · 05-21-2008, 07:25 PM

It was his son's car... Unless he paid for it, he didn't really have the right to do that. And still... what is the son going to do now?

Cost of saw: $1000
Cost to repair car: More than the value of the car
Being an asshole: Priceless

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, haha.

Mitch · 05-21-2008, 07:45 PM
