A Gloucester man cut his Ford Fiesta in half with an angle-grinder in protest at it being clamped outside his home.
When traffic wardens threatened to tow away his untaxed Fiesta, builder Ian Taylor asked them: "Which half do you want?" Mr Taylor says the car was parked in his drive, but wardens from NCP Services claimed it had a wheel poking onto the pavement.
Mr Taylor, from Tredworth, Gloc, then took drastic action and cut the Fiesta up, saying he intended to scrap it anyway. It had been declared SORN and off the road.
"We tried to talk to NCP. I said, 'you're not taking it.' I got my cutter and cut it in half," he explained.
"I'm happy I got one over on them. They're jobsworths, for the sake of an inch and a half on the path."
