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.

I'd love to see it again, mainly to see how well it held up. I don't even have an idea of the damage or what actually happened. 
But still, if you're going to drive like a loon, bad things will happen. I've learnt from that. Just a shame this time it had to happen to a very nice car.
Thinking about it, it had less than 1000 miles on it.

1, The road is no place to have a race.
2, Drink has no place on the road.
1+2 usually = death, he's a very lucky albeit silly man.
R.I.P. M6.
I agree with you on all those things..... says me (I take it you've seen some of my speeding related threads).
Found out tonight that this isn't the first time he's written a car off when under the influence. A year or two ago he flipped the car he had and screwed up the nerves in his arm. His arm was lifeless for months!
You'd have thought he would have learnt really.
Few more details...
Ok, so he was racing another BMW. Obviously the M6 got the better of the other car.
Further up the road, my boss signalled to turn right and the other car went ploughing straight into the side of it.
From what I've heard, there was only one wheel left and that wasn't in the best of condition
Turns out I could get my hands on some pictures too, so I'll keep you all posted.

Nah, not started the AV setup yet.
Still using my B&W's with my old Yammy AV amp, DVD player and NAD CD player. Trying to decide what to buy first... AE Evo 3's, 32" TV or a NAD stereo amp. The hi-fi rack is at the opposite end of my room to my bed. Trying to watch a 14" is somewhat painful
*cough* Anyway not to take this thread further OT...

I think a courtesy car... but I don't know why he's got it. It's not like they're going to fix his M6, lol.
Yeah he does a bit. He drove past me yesterday while I was parked up outside the post box. Didn't recognise him at first until he got quite close. He then decided to plant it as he went past. Those diesels don't half sound nice
