I think it's dispicable of you to loan out your bike to get it washed ya lazy bastard. You have a teenage son to do that for you.

Or maybe Frosty should buy a bike and paint it pink. Sure fire way of no one wanting to borrow it ah?

Lent a bike to a mate once who crashed it in the most spectaclar fashion imaginable (ie his las vision befor he was knocked out was it spiraling through the air above him thinking if that fucker lands on me I'm a dead man). Damn thing bounced on its rear wheel (rooted that) then the front end (fucked that good and proper) and then embedded itself in a rock face so only the timing side was un touched.

He gave me $80 towards fixing it...

Cost me $60 from memory - was well pleased...

[homer]

Um a friend was it ?

are they still
would nt have been me

[Mikkel]

Gutted! They don't make friends in the way they used to in the olden days it seems...

What I don't get is that the owner of the car was informed through a 3rd party that damage had been done to the car. This is after months of not hearing anything from the friend who borrowed the car.
No action is taken and then a few months passes by before the friend crashes the car...

Why didn't the owner pick up on that? After months of not hearing anything at all, then a 3rd party damage report and then another couple of months before the bigger incident.

Seems odd to me. Not the way I'd lend out any of my possessions...

The inaction of the lender could become an issue if this turns into a legal case!

Tony. I dont think this is going to help the situation.
Yes, I do know what you're talking about.

[scumdog]

You need to screen your 'friends' a bit better (too late now, sadly).

I have some friends I'd lend my favourite rifle to.

I have other 'friends' who I would have reservations about lending one empty shell from said rifle.

Its fairly safe to say that this is a one way street.
Aparently the panebeater also is less than happy with the freind.

It's starting to look pretty clear where the street is going to end up, people on this track generally have to take pretty drastic measures to get off this rollercoaster. Team up with the panel beater. You will be helping your friend in the long run by taking action against him - and helping everyone else out here as well. Good luck!

I'll pas that on to the panelbeater

Dont sound like a friend to me mate!

+1

depending on how much the costs would be (2 get your car fixed), how well the friendship was, and of course, if your car is under insurance

if i were u, and the amount involved to fix my car is affordable (or reasonably low), i'll treat this incident as to really recognize a so called "friend" by spending a bit of my money

[FROSTY:Me]

No Due to the nature of the damage and the type of car there is no insurance.
Said freind hasn't even bothered to give any estimate as to the exttent of the damage or the cost of repairs.

[Shaun]

Your said FREIND is arsehole simple!!!! If this so called frind is a member on here? I say NAME AND SHAME DUDE! Frosty, you have done so much good for people, that maybe this person needs a little reminder about freinds and being honest eh

You do not deserve this kind a shite mate

That question would be best answered by the mechanic...
