I don't think he's too worried about is. If he's got enough money to let his 20 yo son drive a 275,000 car , he's got connections to get the insurance co to pay off.

If not he'll claim his son took it without permission (theft) and ins will pay him.

Win-Win.

You never know. He might be able to work the sympathy angle.

I hate seeing kids in high powered cars for their first cars. The amount of P platers here in Australia I see driving 3 series BMWs, V8 Fords and Holdens and various Japanese sports cars (S15's, R32/33/34s etc) is appalling.

The kid is lucky he survived the crash, luckier still he didn't kill anyone else with his antics.

Well £275k may be a small price compared to if he'd done the same in a fiesta, or punto, or any other small boy-racers car where he would certainly have been more seriously injured!

If he claims that his son took it without permission, the kid will be done for theft. He's defiantly in a Lose-Lose situation.

I wanted to pull off my belt and put him across my knee
Forget the belt, I'd take the car he refused and then give him an old bomb in the colour he wanted! Everyone's happy then!
