Not on your own I wouldn't think, unless you're superman. He doesn't know a trick with matches as well does he as I see you're in Skeggy?

Its not that hard to strip a car down into pieces. Saw a program on Men and Motors once about gangs of car theives and they could steal and strip a full car inside about 4 hours. Was mental to watch how fast they took it to bits and moved it all on!!!
