That is what I'm worried about! I told him this, but he says he will 'be careful'. Just like he was careful getting caught doing 62 in a 30!?

This is my main bit of leverage left, he hasn't had the penalty fine or points come through, which I think will be harsh, but fair!
The car he is looking at seems to be well looked after with receipts for all of the things you mentioned.
He isn't worried about fuel as 'should get 25mpg on the motorway'! Pahhhhh, ridonkkkk!
