love the doors on the '49, at least they wouldn't rust.
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

Do you know where the photo was taken or what station/unit did the beetle up?

I took the pic many years ago at the VW nationals..
I think it was when the nationals were at the football
place...??
maybe 10 year ago...
Sorry, I didn't ask where they were from etc....
they had permission to be there - maybe a public relations thing to show that Highway patrol officers are human and can own a beetle.... ??
They were Highway Patrol...
cheers

The officer on the right is the late Dallas Tidyman, who was with the NSW Police training centre at Goulburn. He was an enthusiastic Club Veedub member, and built the Superbug in his spare time especially for display at the Nationals. With his help, the police were supporting the show. Yes it was at the old venue, the Valentine Soccer Federation headquarters at Parklea, some time around 1995 I think. He was a great guy, and those who were there will never forget him riding his police bike, in full uniform, into the canteen! He was later killed in the line of duty, at Boorowa I think.

Hi
After Dallas died the club had a run down to the Goulburn academy where Dallas was an instructor, to pay our respects.
A story was told of how Dallas and his colleagues would taunt new recruits, he would ask to to chase him around the training track, he was in a Beetle, the recruit in a V8 police car, they never caught him, he was very good driver and a VW nut to the core.

Hi
I've just joined the site and I've just been looking through the different forums and I came across this one on the late Dallas Tidyman. I knew Dallas in the 1970's before the joined the Police Force and he drove a VW back then. Thankyou for bringing back some wonderful memories. What a shame that I can't download the photo, for some reason I can't get it to work.

Hi
Thankyou for posting the pic but it still wont download for me
It would have been nice to have had a pic of Dallas in his Police Uniform, but alas it's not meant to be
Once again thankyou for your kindness
