To be honest, considering his obvious inadequacies behind the wheel (this is twice now isn't it?), if I were you I'd be dissuading him from buying anything as quick as a Cooper. - Do you want to give him another shot at killing you? silly

Try to guide him towards getting some advanced driving tuition - he'll thank you for it later when he can drive a nice car for more than 5 minutes without injuring someone.
I've been suggesting the tuition. Have suggested a MINI One, similar but obviously less powerful, but I just don't think he wants to go backwards really... Technically twice, yes, but the first was a bit unfair. Someone lost it on a bend in heavy snow, he swerved to avoid, bumped a kerb, over corrected and spun it into a metal fence post, shattering the bumper. Car went to the hands of Scrappage a month later though anyway...

I used his 'My Garage' to work out the running costs for the car in the time he had it. yikes See here: mmmger.
