I went to work one day and parked the datto just outside the house. Spent all day slaving away only to find at 5pm my car was missing. I freaked out and asked all the neighbours if they'd seen anything strange, but no-one had. I had no option but to report it stolen to the police who were very helpful but weren't very positive.
About 6.30pm I went for another quick search and looked down a grass cliff face about 50 metres from where i'd parked. The drop off was at least 7 metres and it was hard to see stuff down there.
I could just make out a red tail light of my car which was entirely covered with lantana! Somehow it had rolled down and narrowly missed several huge trees....a true datsun miracle....that was the last time i left it out of gear! god bless datsuns
