Warning to all ACT drivers!! (Pics now up)	Mon, 29 August 2005 10:39

Hey all, Well i haven't being on these forums for long but i will introduce myself anyways. My name is Aaron and i own a White Datsun 120y powered by a 4AGZE, with some minor mods, engine wise. I love my car and it was ruined on Saturday night coz of some punks. Well to fill you's in on what happened here it is. Saturday night, i went out for a mates b'day to Go-Karting at Hume, and after leaving at 9pm, heading home minding my own business on the Munaro Hwy about 1 km from the hindmarsh cross over heading towards fyshwich, i struck a Tree stumb, about 1 metre in diameter and almost i metre tall that was placed in the middle of the Left lane of the hwy. I struck it at 100km/h, and didn't see it as it was dark and had no time to even brake. My engine died straight away and i pulled over to the side of the road. Me and my mate go out to inspect the damage. Luckiely the tree stumb did not follow through under the car, instead it shot over across the road into the middle of the hwy after the impact. After being outside of my car for less than 1 minute a commodore station wagon struck something in the right lane about 200m back from where i was pulled over. and he came to a grinding halt behind me. To cut a long story short, the police where called and it turns out that for the last 3 weeks a person/people have been putting objects on the road at night, in both lane next to each other with the intention to cause damage as you can't see the nor sworve to avoid them, and there have bein a few other accidents along there lately. Well my car is stuffed. After pulling it apart on the 26/12/2004 to start the conversion and spending 8 months building it and to have it registered and driving my baby for 1 months and 2 weeks, and for it all to be ruined by some punks. The tree stumb, missed my intercooler, put my radiator into my engine, smashed the Crank pulley, smashed the alloy oil pump and other housing behing the crank, not to mention the sump, most likely ruined the engine, kinked my drivers side chassis rail in two spots, and compressed my passenger side rail in 1 spot, pushed the engine back a little bit and bent a radius rod. That is all i can see at the moment as i ahven't got the engine out yet. it's all fixable but after spendin abit over 10k and 8 months of my time everynight in the shed building it i don't know if i can bare to fix it. It just breaks my heart to destroy it like that, i wish i could claim responibility, by saying that i crashed it by doing something stupid, but instead i'll be wondering, who and where i can find them punks. I was hoping to come out to some of the canberra cruises coming up to meet the CCG and toymod people to show them my pride and joy but that is now done the drain. So this is a warning to all that drive along the Munaro Hwy between fyshwich and hume, watch out for objects on the road and if you see someone putting them there, pull over and take a bat to them for me as my baby may be put to slept as of cost of repairs coz i have no insurance. If any1 wants to know any more info, or has any for me, just ask/tell. Thanks Aaron Pics below: [Updated on: Tue, 30 August 2005 12:27] [Report message to a moderator]
