    Someones day ended bad

    Gday all,

    Was on our first trip in the GQ to Coffin Bay and came across this maverick which had ended up high and dry on the rocks. Initially I thought that it had been bogged and washed up onto the rocks but after having a bit of a look around it looked like it had hit the rocks hard. It did not look like water had been through it yet, but that was a few weeks ago now. Unfortunately the missus became a bit nervouse of beach driving after coming across this.

    Any one over that way know what happened?

    Wonder if it was stolen, who would drive their own car into that.

    The only thing that I could think of was that it may have been night time and/or covered in seaweed.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Here is one more pic from front on with the missus and young bloke checking it out. Still not sold on the stolen idea though. Looks like the rocks in that area could be responsible for the bar damage.

    Did it have the mighty td42 in it??

    What a waste if this the case.

    Hard to say number plates come off very easy....

    Didn't look to in depth around it to see if the engine was still there but everything on the interior was intact and in reasonable condition.
