No doubt he'll blow the lot though - hopefully not on a £400 car and a £1600 ICE setup
Ah, but this is what will happen!! Cheap car, then it'll be bigger alloys, body kit, neons, ICE, interior, mental paint.....just let him see a copy of Chav Power or Fast Chav and he'll foaming at the mouth at what he could do with an old ****ter and £1500 for mods

To be fair, he's got his head screwed on - and his father's watching closely
