Hiya everyone,

I just wondered if anyone has seen the Beetle I recently bought from Ebay. It's meant to be in a field by the side of the Great Alpine Hwy in Albury, Vic.
Here's a picture:

Just wondered if anyone knew anything about it.
Thanks

Well I'm in Brissy so bit far for me to go see hence why asking anyone who may be local but the guy is being very poor at his communications to help me get it transported up to Brissy.

I really like the look of this Bug and don't want to be on the receiving end of screw over.

Well, in the add he said ask if I wanted a transport quote so I did and didn't get anything back. He also said that there is lifting gear where the bug is to put it onto a flatbed. I got a few rough quote but when I phoned him he said they were expensive so as he was having to pick something up from grafton he would transport it to me and I pay the petrol for his journey. 2 weeks after i bought it still no word so I ring again and he says he's been partying over the new year, fair enough, but says he'll let me know shortly. That was 2 weeks ago and still no word or replies to my text messaging.
Like I said I just don't want a fast one pulled on me and it's starting to feel that way hence why I ask if anyone knows the whereabouts of this bug. My wife bought it as an xmas present and we will both be upset if we get stiffed!!
