Give your mate a kick in the head, and make him pay for it ;)

Other then that, i believe chassis damage is expensive to fix.... But not impossible.

It's fixable but it's going to cost you alot $$$. I'll be making your mate pay up.

going quick in a car is one thing, having the skill and smarts to know how to pull her up is a completely different ball game, going up a gutter to avoid crumpling someone elses boot suggests to me he was going pretty quick or doesn't have the smarts, mates bro pays if you ask me.
Just an opinion

It's definately not your bill to foot, however you wouldn't be the first to not have a mate pay up!

I hope it goes well for you.

Your insurance company ought to cover it if you authorised your mate to drive, however I would just twist his arm because it will affect your premiums & excess.
