Thread: How to impress i female,not

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

Love how they stress the point that it is uninsured.

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?

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

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

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
