Not a good idea. A local guy with an FV432 (about 9 ton heavier than a carrier) kissed the top deck and smashed out a number of his teeth. He left teeth marks in the aluminium. Let some other clown wreck his carrier Robert.... Just sayin'

DO IT!

Advertise the event as a fundraiser for a good cause, a community-based youth activity that gets kids off the streets and promotes self-esteem and self reliance and turns out good citizens.

Say that not only will you crush a Honda Civic, you will crush a line of cars!

Pay for entry, ALL funds going to support the Cadets.

And then crush a Honda Civic, and any other Matchbox cars you can line up end to end.

Anyone that complains that they didn't get what they paid their money to see is a bum!

I've got tons of spare parts for your rebuild, including NOS guards , if you tip it upside down and it burns to the ground, Cheers.

Perhaps run over some equipment better suited for the UC such as some lawnmowers....perhaps even riding mowers. Or kids wagons, tricycles, or some of those annoying garden gnomes.



One of the rules of battle is that you destroy the enemy with superior tactics and overwhelming force. I am afraid that if you attack a car you will not have those advantages and the civic could win.

I watched a guy nearly kill himself doing something others warned him was unwise in a carrier, I was one of those who warned him. He was well warned but knew better. Please don't be like him. I don't wish to read of anything happening to you.
