I not got the time of day for him now though Luke, Like i said, he crossed the line, and thats it now. I won't ever speak to him again. Let him regret he ever had the audasity to blame me.

I know what's next, if i see him he's obviously going to pull the old 'Come on mate, i was only joking' trick....which i won't fall for, cos i aint no mug. Its not funny when he means it, and its even worse if its a joke....just shows the way he thinks.

Anyway, its no loss to me, i got my free time to finish my engine off with peace of mind that i don't have to fel guilty about not doing his

Also, just to add to this, i let him off lightly once already, so he should be thankful that he was graced with the rare oppertunity to have a second chance from me, which not many people ever do.

Before he had the licence, he already had the car, getting it ready for when he passed. I even took it to the MOT station uninsured for him, which put my licence on the line. Anyway, when i wasn't about, he used to take the car out illigally, and i know this because i saw him and i was told.

I spoke to him and said 'If i ever see you driving that car again without a licence, you get nothing from me' he appologised, agreed, and that was that.

About a week later, one of the fuel pipes perished and had a leak, he told me about it, and i said i would only fix it once he passed his test and was insured......now that was the perfect reason not to to drive a car with a fuel leak, so i thought he would obey. But guess who i saw driving through the town whilst i was in an indian restaurant, with 4 people in the car WITH A FUEL LEAK!

It must have been loosing a litre every 10 minutes (obviously as the fuel system was pressurised) i even stopped eating my curry and rudely left the table to go an call his brother to tell him how dangerous that car was to drive with a fuel leak as the petrol drips on to the downpipe and the starter motor connections, and he said 'ok i'll tell him'.

TBH, i think its far safer that he doesn't have a licence until he learns he can't do that sort of shit. Even when i was 18 i wasn't that fucking stupid to drive a car WITH people in it that had a fuel leak without a licence insurance or tax.

It just really makes me mad you know? When you try and pass on a bit of knowledge to someone who seems willing to learn, and they jsut take the fucking piss
