he had a very good brief? i would be very suprised if he's got off as scott free as he says he has. if he was tearfully sorry, offered to pay for damage to fence, pleaded ignorance, stupidity, youth etc etc and the police were in an incredibly good mood and his previous record spotless, they may have let him off with cautions, especially as it appears that no-one got hurt and the car owner does not want to press charges. just how sorry he would have to have actively been is not something an 18 year old is going to readily admit too and imho theres more to that story than he's letting on. i suggest you post a question asking for as many audi / fence / idiot jokes as possible and keeping rubbing it in, truth will out sooner or later.
