My boss's M6...

[Rotty]

I have an Admiral policy and its the same on mine ( no DD history )

 

[merlin]

Bit naughty that, no-one else does it.

 

[Malachy]

You have to feel sorry for the other fellow too though.. He's about to get stung (insurance wise) to the tune of a new M6..

i have a question about this. Does the value of your previous claim actually affect your next renewel. Eg if i wrote off a £80,000 car would my next renewel be more than if that car was only worth £20,000?
i have always thought not myself and that a claim was a claim regardless of cost but i often see people saying this. Can anyone who knows for certain (merlin) enlighten me?

No idea, but I'd guess the premium would remain the same between say a £10,000 accident and a £50,000 accident.

Insurers can sell the salvage on for quite a lot of money I should think - that will reduce the cost of the claim.

No doubt to some numpty with a 316i Compact

If its not a front end smash and the engine is in one bit I can imagine someone paying very good money for it.

 

[Dangerous]

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

AHAHAHA

 

[Zip]

Would it be at all possible for getting some pictures of the M6s remains

You can see others at WreckedExotics, Andy said he won't see it again (or so he thinks)

 

[agw_01]

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.

 

[Firestar_3x]

Looking on the bright side though, least he didn't crash an M5

 

[agw_01]

He was going to get an M5

Oh, turns out he was drinking. He had a couple with his lunch, so if he was over the limit at all (he's a big guy) it would only be by a small amount.

 

[willd58]

I feel sorry for the guy, im quite liberal when it comes to having a drink and then driving, aslong as he wasnt over the limit by and significant amount. If hes a big guy i doubt he was.

Man, i prefer the M6 to the M5 and the M5 is a dream car. really sorry to hear another one is gone.

In that case I have no sympathy what so ever.

Whats going to happen with the insurance/police

Limits a limit, so even if he was only just over thats still over, shocking!

 

[Adz]

He didn't cause the accident, don't forget .

 

[Firestar_3x]

Don't matter if he was over he was still drink driving.

 

[Adz]

Do we know he was over the limit yet? I was breathalised 30 minutes after 2 pints of Stella and was under 1/2 of the limit.

Let he who is without sin...

 

[NathanE]

He may have only had 2 pints but he's going to have the biggest hangover ever!

Shocking

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

Not sure if they still do it, but the E39 M5 certainly came with a day of high speed/track training thrown in.
