'PRINCE' NASEEM COUSIN JAILED

A cousin of boxer "Prince" Naseem Hamed has been jailed for four months for crashing the ex-champion's £45,000 Subaru Impreza at 80mph.

Andruoos Yafai, 18, shunted another car into a public telephone box, injuring a man who was using it. He was banned from driving for 18 months.

22b bites the dust. however, would you let your teenage cousin drive your very high performance car unaccompanied by someone with a little maturity......

Well that prat Naseem obviously has more money than sense

Wicked.

Should be longer though.

... more good press for the impreza then... hmm..

at least he got locked up for it!

ex-champion?

Has someone finally defeated that little twirp?

I remember this from a few months ago....hadn't the guy doing the driving (or not http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif ) just picked it up from a body shop where it had been subject to a previous repair http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif

Perhaps the owner should be taken to task about letting an obviously inexperienced driver loose in a 22b http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Yex

If he's anything like his cousin, maybe he couldn't see over the steering wheel.

Not unless he sits on his ego ... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

He'd be 10 feet above the car then!

I let my teenage son drive mine at Brands last November. He did bloody well, good track behaviour, awareness and was quick with it.

Made for a very proud Dad http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

richard,

good for him (& good for you for teaching him the necessary respect & responsibility - i don't mean that to sound in the slightest bit patronising!!)

come to think of it, jenson button in an f1 car at...er, 19.

i guess i wouldn't feel comfortable until they'd done IAM or something similar to ensure their competence and my piece of mind. s'pose it depends on how mature your kid is too..
