I want my bio-sammie to start clearing up some 'loose threads' in his
character background. The biggest loose thread involves wetwork on a senior
exec in a megacorp. Our team has a pretty stringent 'no wetwork and no
innocent bystanders' rule so it will have to be a solo endeavor.

One possibility is planting a bomb someplace the exec will be eventually. My
reading of the rigger book rules suggests that a maxed out limo could have
up to a body of 8 and vehicle armor of up to 24. Somewhere between 9 and 16
kilos of c-12 should do the trick but that's a lot of boom boom to acquire.

The description of demolitions on p. 97 [?] of SRII says that when someone
with demolitions skill places the explosives you roll against a target of 2
and successes add to the power of the explosive. This would help a lot.
Finally, here's my question - would demolitions skill apply if I were simply
putting the explosives & detonator in a hole, covering it up and pushing a
button when the limo passes over or do I actually have to 'place' the
explosives on the limo?
