What about insurance, he paying?
I would enforce the 'you bend it you buy it' rule here
thing is... i said to him on Sat night "you bend it you mend it"!!
i was only joking!! FFS! 
ach... if you cant laugh then you cry eh!?
Always my last words if letting someone have my car....seems fair tbh I wouldnt do that to my car so why should anyone else
Yeah man tis a bummer but at least no ones hurt(apart from in the pocket!!), the car & fence will be replaced

thought about that chris... but thats already underway.
got something else up my sleeve, just need to see if it comes off or not.
But i think re-shelling it would be better in the long run.
