Default Rant...

Just went to the Honda meet at south mimms, car got some attention which was nice, I went with a friend, I dropped my mate andy off at his mates house, and it just so happens that his bro was in, si we shall call him, he said, oh nice can I pop round the block, I thought nothing of it, he got out, said "that's nice", and that was it, he went back In and I came home.

Just noticed he's definitely kerbed the shit out of my rear left wheel, I heard the exhaust when he drove is so I can only imagine he tried to be a bit generous off a roundabout and nudged it Into the kerb, wheels are less than 2 months old, called him and he denied it, wanker, luckily he's not a good mate, but I definitely won't be talking to him again for a long f@#king time. And never letting him drive my cars ever again.

I'm absolutely fuming. : -#

He's had powerful rear drive cars before, so it's not that, thought he would have enough knowledge to not let it get away from him, or give it the beans in an unknown car...

just well annoying as I though he was just gonna potter round the block, instead I think he's tried to give it some beans and it's got away from him, shant be letting anyone else drive it again : ( lucky it was a Rota and not a ce28, I wouldn't be here writing this, I would be round his house letting him know my thoughts fairly vocally...

Sorry but if he's not a good mate why the hell would you let him anywhere near your car. i'd have told him to jog on.

As soon as i passed my test all my friends knew they aint got a hells chance to drive any of my cars. over the years they've realised theres no point in even asking.

Well he used to be a really good mate, just grown apart, known each other for years, and I thought we had a mutual respect, he always let's me have a go in whatever toy he's blasting around in, so it's no biggy....until today....

I won't even let my parents drive my car let alone a mate unless I 100% trust them. Even then I'd be in the car or following in a different one.

I don't normally, it's literally just him, never had a problem with him before and he is a good driver, that's why I let him have a quick go,

Wish I didn't, just needed to vent tbh, I'm over it now, might change the colour of them now!
