Sounds like he has a top mum and dad as well Osem.
You have brought back a, kind of, happy memory for me.
We helped our son buy his first car and I taught him to drive. All went well until the evening before his test. 7:30pm on an October night he decided to reverse on to our drive, goodness knows why as it was pitch black and not the easiest maneuver in daylight. He caught his wheel arch on the gate hinge and to his credit stopped the car before he tore off the whole panel. We had to round up some neighbours to physically lift his car away from the gate and then spent the next few hours trying to bend his bodywork back into shape. The car was second hand and with a bit of black spray paint we managed to botch up a halfway decent repair.
Next morning we went to the test centre with fingers crossed that the tester wouldn't prejudge his driving skills by the state of his car but all was well and Peter passed his test with no faults.
