Smile lucky escape

as some of you may be aware i have recently got myself v70 t5 estate. this is normally parked outside my house but due to street parking i had to park on opposite side of road in front of mates house her motor was outside of mine. early hours of tuesday morning i was on pc by front bed window and heard loud crunch which i could tell was sound of cars coming together, my heart was in my mouth i dashed to look out window, there was car piled into back of mates car, the driver of car tried to get it into reverse to a runner but in his hurry as he saw me coming out front door accelerated but oh dear wrong gear and hit the car a second time.
it turned out ok lucky enough i got driver and he turned out to be 16 yrs of age! and lived approx 10 doors away. his mother had to cough up.

that was close for me

Hes only 16, so theres plenty of time for him to learn the error of his ways.

By the time hes 17 he'l beable to set the car on fire and leg it half way down the road by the time you get out the front door

But then the neighbours will also be wise to his "activities" and he will find people coming up to him and giving him a slap for some burnt out wreck or another.
Will soon work out it is not worth it!!
