Idiot! Haven't heard the term " long grassers" since 1982, during my time in Darwin. Some things don't change, Bob :D

Love how they stress the point that it is uninsured. :o

To be honest, I don't think any insurance would cover that anyway. Pretty sure they would say negligence, and not pay.

Feel sorry for the owner thou. He is now without his rig. :(

The 40-year-old construction worker had tricked his motor up with expensive, high-performance parts so he could take his two adult sons on a driving trip around Australia.

"It had $60,000 worth of work done to it," the stunned owner said.



I can never understand why someone has to spend so much to Go Around Australia. Maybe now he can do it in a Disco 1? :angel:

[VladTepes]

or can afford to spend $60K on goodies but not $600 on insurance.....

[Ranga]

I'd say it is insured, but no policy would cover it being driven where it's illegal to do so, like a beach without a permit.

If it was a Landrover, and he was a member of AULRO, he could have put up an SOS and had a dozen forumites there to pull his rig out before the tide came in.
With more pictures taken to record the event.


Another downfall of owning a Nissan.
Still, have to feel sorry for the owner, ruined his Christmas break and his rig.

And spend the 60k in fuel....lolol :wasntme:

I agree with you lads.

Who on this earth would spend 60k on 4wd goodies and not the 1000 required for insurance.

Not that this this would have been covered, unless you claim the truck was stolen, get the insurance soerted and then not want to persecute the thief

He's lucky to have such an understanding mate! Hopefully he he can repay his mates forgiveness by paying for the repairs.

Probably has such an appalling driving/claims history no one will insure him.

THE MORAL OF THIS STORY IS ?.... NEVER LEAVE YOUR KEYS LYING ABOUT

[worane]

Repairs?That my friends is a total write off. If the tide went over it. When I was running the marina at Royal Geelong Yacht Club, we had a nice td5 launch it's self down the boat ramp. It went down to the bull bar and was an insurance write off.

Unisured it wont become a write off. They could dry it out, fix what needs fixing then sell it. Some poor unsuspecting person might end up with a real lemon.

All depends on what its value was before though.

No way it would have $60K of goodies on it.....

Anyway who really cares,another nissan bites the dust.....

Actually not the vehicles fault,the idiot driver and to a lesser extent the owner for leaving his keys around.

Technically it was stolen , with mates like that who needs enemies.

[Cobber]

What a clown! I do feel sorry for him for having his Christmas ruined but stupid is as stupid does and all that ...
