Just watching the news and there was a shot of an early model light green beetle with a roof rack, and all the back stoved in after 12 cars were smashed into by a truck while on a bridge.....:cry
Hope it was no one we all know.
Either way thats bad news....hope is all well with the occupants
Agreed,
hope who ever it is is fine.
Any news ??
'Ah, whatever................'
I just so a news update....hope their ok :jesus
:sandrine

That was near Rob's place....
But he owns Pidge (blue bug)
Hope they were all safe.

I feel for the beetle owner, I know from experience what it feels like to have your beetle wrecked by someone else! (I was more worried about my bug then myself)
Also did you notice there was a newish Golf in the same crash!!!

Watched the full report at 6 pm and they only showed the golf.
Damn shame
could of been worse if they were in a plastic water cooled disposable import
Ouch...certainly a good case of whiplash with the good old lowback seats! I got lightly tapped in the rear in my old bug and it pushed my head back pretty hard - that looks like it would have hurt. At least the roofrack looks undamaged (trying to find the positives)
:cussing
hmmm... if my eyes do not decieve me, then that beetle lives (or now used to live) 3 streets up from me. white sides and apple green paint. best looking beetle in paddington.
poor thing 🙁 lucky no-one was hurt
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.
it was a damn nice beetle...
shame about the color though....

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!
Founding member of the Gold Coast Dub Club Inc. 🙂..should have thought before posting that last comment.
I think (its a bit hard to tell from the photo) that the bug used to belong to one of our club members - he had sold it a couple of months ago...what day did this happen? I only saw that car on the highway at Worongary early last week (I think)....
Still a damn shame.

You only need two tools

Duct tape if it move's and it shouldn't

i actually love my plastic watercooled disposable import and would have been severely injured if i WEREN'T in one. I had a head on in 2001 and that import fantastic 'f*****n' plastic saved alot of injurys, if not my life.
Sorry but im sick and tired of the whole 'water versus air' subject coming up for no reason at all. All that was said was their was a newish golf involved too. Not much simpathy to them is there people...why....has it got something to do with no one accepting watercooled as a VW :blah:blah:blah:blah:blah:blah:blah:blah:blah:blah:blah
sorry peeps but im having a really f***ed day...[edited]:cussing
Also hope bug's OWNERS are ok:kiss

...sorry Maya, was a silly joke,sorry.
Sorry to hear about yours/Greg's job Maya. That sucks.
Having had an accident in a new beetle i can definately vouch for there safety. In the words of the tow truck driver "this thing must be built like a tank". The uninsured drunk idiots ute was written off...my car had a couple of scratches.
Hope that everyone involved in the accident was okay, i heard the traffic was backed up for hours.
Mel

...John (the original owner) just emailed me again to let me know that the car is totaled :cry
He has just bought it from the insurance company to strip for parts as the body is damaged both front and rear and way too bent to be repaired...
It was a great looking car - a real shame to see it go.
