Would This be the Youngest Joyrider.......

Post by Nigel H-J »

I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.

I'm not really amused to be honest. Would have been a different story if he'd mounted the pavement and squashed somebody or hit a Biker.

Have to agree, this has been treated as a bit of a jokey story, as he 'only' damaged a few cars, crashed into a wall and suffered no injuries himself. Excuse me for being cynical, but if he had been a child from an inner city estate would the Mail have treated this so lightly? Shades of the McCann story, where Kelvin McKenzie admitted the story would have been rather different if the parents hadn't been middle class medical professionals! *-)

Seems odd he could just know how to drive..makes me think he's been allowed to off road.

Given that kids should be watched, especially at that age I just can't see how that sort of things happen :dunno:

Incredible story - lucky no one was hurt.

:OT:

Just curious - is Goodwood airfield the one used by Top Gear. If not which one do they use?

Hmmm, I always thought it was Bruntingthorpe. :dunno:

Yep, it was as Garry said, just looked at Wkpidea for the answer.
Now I will go to the back of the class :hide:
