A father taught his son a lesson by putting his brand new Honda Civic on Gumtree for a penny – in a warning to young drivers about driving dangerously.

Steve Clark paid £2,000 for the car which his son, Nat, wrecked just one week after passing his driving test.

Nat, 17, crashed the car after rolling it on a bend in the road near his home in Monifieth, Angus, in Scotland.

He walked away unscathed, but his father was less than happy.

In a posting on advertising site Gumtree, annoyed Steve wrote sardonically:

‘Due to son thinking he’s Colin McRae I now have a 2000 Honda Civic 1.4 breaking for spares.

‘He talked the talk, but certainly didn’t walk the walk (he will be walking now, for a long time).’
