Hey folks,
My first post here is a sad one. Last Sunday 3rd October at around 7:30pm, a man was seen loading my now missing '69 Beetle onto the back of a car trailer being towed by a station wagon. This took place in St Kilda, Melbourne.
My unfortunate missing baby was not running at the time (having spat a spark plug and stripped the thread) and was due to go into the shop this month for engine and other repairs required for roadworthy. Of course the thief chose the worst timing of all, taking place between the time my insurance ran out and the time I got it fixed. So now, basically I got jack...
If anyone has seen this car being towed or is aware of it's location please let me know on yiuk@bigpond.com.au as I am desperate to get it back.
The description is as follows:
White and blue '69 beetle rego plates EWA516. Front and top of car are white, blue begins jus above the rear window, covers the back and angles down the rear sides. Fibreglass running boards, rear guards and bumpers. Tinted windows. Mag wheels (silver and white), Saas leather steering wheel and leather gear stick knob. Interior, metalwork painted black, rest covered in a grey velour. Front seats and belt replaced. Extractors, single exhaust, 1500 engine with a blown plug at the cylinder at the front drivers side of motor. Dual carb which has somehow been mounted backwards by previous owner.
It was looking a bit sad and leaf covered at the time having been parked under a tree but rest assured we love our beetles very much (we also have a recently restored '67 which used to be mine but now belongs to the other half) and would love to see it come home and get it's much needed TLC rather than being stripped for parts.
The matter has of course been reported to the police but should the car and it's contents return no action will be taken.
This car is greatly missed... please help bring her home...
Yiuk..
