Killing a Toyota
Not easy, or so Jeremy Clarkson found out in this Top Gear episode. He smashes a Hilux, dunks it in the ocean, torches it....and it still runs.

Apparantly Clarkson thought that his former boss was a Hilux.

Fifth gear did a great video on destroying an old merc which is worth watching too

I should look into trying to buy an old Hillux while I am in Europe for the next 2 years.

A really old but classic episode. Good entertainment, but utterly meaningless without any other car undergoing the same test procedure for comparison.
