this from today's telegraph

'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......

Cool

I remember this from a few months ago....hadn't the guy doing the driving (or not ) just picked it up from a body shop where it had been subject to a previous repair

Perhaps the owner should be taken to task about letting an obviously inexperienced driver loose in a 22b

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

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

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..
