What the fark?

First I have to demand that the Police actually show up and now they want to "wash their hands" of it? I would go to the station and lodge an official complaint, short of that get a letter from a lawyer and start preparing to take AKTUNG to the cleaners.

OMFG! I have not been on these forums for a few weeks and I return to this very bad news. Dave it is so sad to see your labour of love ruined!

Once again certain factions of the police force have shown contempt for the young public.

My opinion is, If you have witnesses that were not in your car, I would collect statements from each of them and gather all your photographic evidence. Including a rough diagram of the road and each cars position, then take your theory and a complaint to the ombudsman. With the evidence of how your car was damaged it should prove without a doubt that your are not at fault and the police are negligently brushing you off. Thats what I think anyway.

If AKTUNG knows he is in the wrong he is the lowest person I know of.

Good luck Dave!

I'm happy to go to the scene and take some pics giving an idea of where your car came to rest in relation to where the set of lights are etc. (giving an indication as to the amount of momentum he had). Didn't see the impact itself but was there on the night and live close by so this is no hassle for me. Let me know. In retrospect, we probably should have done so on the night.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
