Which Budget Motor with Big Boot
Which car would be best to put the missus in and drive to southern remote france so that i can push it off a cliff?
Large boot is a prerequisite, though not an estate as escape would be inevitable. Sound proofing optional as i still have a roll of white PVC tape in
the garage.
.....Or would a roof box be less obvious? Not sure on loadings though.

Can't use a roof box due to the Manual Handling Regs.

Id park it under the bedroom window and push her out. Working at heights isnt as risky as manual handling as long as you have a suitable and
sufficient risk assessment and appropriate control measures......

I think the traditional motor for this type of trip would be a Jag of some sort

I disagree. My 130 TDCi was great to drive. Economical too.
Or did you mean that its the most boring thing to be in the boot of? I can always throw in one of the kids toys or a DSi. Maybe the collection of
handbags and shoes to solve two problems in one.

Richard.

The petrol and subsequent fire removes those mostly.

Get an old caravan, anonymous, disposable, cheap, and you can make a se7en transporter out of it after the wicked deed is done.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

My vote goes for a 2CV.
You can drive it comfortably right up to the cliff edge.
The wife would NEVER be able to eat her way out from under the pile of french sticks on top of her in time.
You would do the world a favour by disposing of another 2CV, back in the country that spawned it.

Guaranteed death trap.
On a crash test, the knees of the crash dummy reached the shoulders.
Oh, it has a big boot too.
