            BROTHER CRASHES SPICE GIRL'S MERCEDES


The brother of Spice Girl Mel C is recovering from crashing
her sporty new £35,000 Mercedes.

Paul O'Neill, 17, wrapped the car round a lamppost - before
his sister had even had the chance to drive it.

Paul's mother, Joan O'Neill, said: "He's in bed recuperating.
He's just tired and worn out after what happened."

The car was a present to Sporty Spice from Mercedes after
the group helped it launch the new McLaren Formula 1.


 

Ouch...

 

Tut tut. Of all the things you can do with a car, driving it into a lamppost is quite high on the list of "you didn't want to do that" options.
And I'm not sure I'd like to be the one to tell Melanie - "Umm, Melanie, you know that shiny Mercedes you've only just learned to drive. Well, it's got a bit of a dint..." Could be worse I suppose, Paul could have borrowed it without asking first - you did ask sis if you could borrow her car, didn't you? OK, it isn't a Micra, but even so...

Not sure about the "before his sister had even had the chance" bit though...

Melanie in the driving seat

That's Melanie, that's a Mercedes, and she's in the driving seat. Maybe they just meant she hasn't driven it since passing her test.
