My boss's M6...

agw_01 · 9 Feb 2006 at 10:24

is no more

Just found out he wrote it off yesterday.

I don't know any other details yet, but wow, am I in shock! He's only had it a month!

Brynn · 9 Feb 2006 at 10:25

Ouch, I would be in mourning if I wrote off that car

toy_soldier · 9 Feb 2006 at 10:30

Thats harsh, how did that happen?

Firestar_3x · 9 Feb 2006 at 10:33

How many times has this happened now with M5's and M6's, give someone a powerfull car and they will get themselves into all kinds of trouble!

Morba · 9 Feb 2006 at 10:35

might not of been his fault firestar...
not many people just walk into a monster car like an M6 for a company car, i would imagine he has had other powerful exec cars

I reckon proper driver training should be given (around a track) when you buy powerful cars such as these.

Pah, no need for details... the ocuk road crash investigation team will be on it in no time

It was ice, diesel, ky jelly on the road. Case closed.

Having a car like that for only a mont before killing it must be very hard on him.

Insurance should pay for a new one at a guess?

Yeah, and given the amount sitting unwanted he could get it very quickly! and at a knock down price

CASHBACK

I think he lost control whilst looking for the indicators.

Don't be stupid, safety packs aren't options on high spec BMW's

hes a bad driver then. most bmw drivers know that there is no indicators before purchasing the car, for him to take a month and still be looking, is poor performance. he doesnt deserve a bmw in this case!

Maybe he decided to turn over a new leaf this morning.

/Imagines driver with head in footwell "nope, nothing here except the go faster pedal and some other stuff"

LOL!

You guys are going to love this!

Turns out he was racing with someone. Basically, the other driver (in a BMW) said "I can beat that piece of ****". The other driver lost control and smashed into the M6.

My boss spent the night in the cells, as it turns out he *might* have been drinking. I emphaise that word because I'm not 100% sure, but it's possible.

Morba, yeah, he's had a lot of powerful cars. Before the '6 he had a 645Ci.. and several other high powered BMW's before that.

But still, I feel for the guy, I really do. He's a nice, down to earth, friendly person but this isn't the first car he's written off. And no doubt he'll do it again.

I doubt I'll ever see that car again, so can't get pictures. So here's one on the day he bought it for good measure.

<- lost for words.

So was I.

edit... Oh, and just to clarify, it wasn't a company car. It was his. £80,000 down the drain I guess.

Morba · 9 Feb 2006 at 11:29

what was he racing?
