Somebody reversed into my car!

Was working round at his place using his garage to do his mate's Clio. He jumps in his car and since he's getting pissed off with his mate being in his way (his car's normally garaged) I'm trying to cheer him up by telling him how nice his car is.

"Loving the stitching on those seats, bro!" (it's got the baseball stitching on the seats)
"Just one of them things, bro."

I sit down on the lawn and try not to piss myself as he reverses with the roof down (no blind spots people!) towards a BRIGHT RED GTE and fails to see it. I'm the only one who hears the crunch since they're all out back prodding driveshafts, so to save his embarrassment I run over and say don't worry about it for now and shake his hand, he says OK, points to my car and says "I'll sort that out for you."

One hour later he returns with the red paint mark T-cutted off the back of his gaylord mobile and says that daddy's an insurance bigwig and he knows a thing or two about insurance and because I shook his hand and said "pretend it never happened", he's not liable. I'm standing there in disbelief. Know how much I asked for? Twenty quid for paint and materials.

"You winding me up? What's twenty quid to someone with a car like that?"
"What do you think gets you a car like that in the first place? Watching those twenty quids."

In a world of decency where handshakes mean something of course he's correct, but it's a bit hard to take coming from somebody who clearly has no idea what common decency is. I'm left with a damaged indicator, bumper, front wing and wheel arch. Naturally I'm going to sue the c$*t.

The owner of the TT fagtop is registered on CruisinUK's forums actually, masquerading as a car enthusiast, and is currently giving me sh$t.

Just leave it at the fact that he drives an Audi TT... waste of money in itself. He also hangs out with a guy who drives a Clio, hell he might as well wear nothing but a pink tutu and bend over for anything with a dick saying 'Ooh sir, please be rough'

LOL I appreciate the sentiment Stu - the slander is after all what it's all about really, innit? hehehe

The thread got moved to the moderator's forum, which is basically inaccessible for normal users like us, well you guys, and the likes of me smile
