Bound to happen by out of all the cars they post a picture of a beetle getting removed from a pile of rubble?

Oh, was in the Friday Herald Sun (page 11)

Sorry about the picture quality. Scanner is playing up so had to take a photo with the digital camera.

I have a friend in Singapore that rescued a 1951 cabrio beetle from Sri Lanka some time ago!. He can't even register it in Singapore!

one of my old mans cousin's is restoring an oval in Sri Lanka🙂 and when he (my old man) went back there last christmas (03) he saw his dads (my grandfathers) old white beetle still cruising around with the same rego plate🙂

Wooh Yeah! thankfully theyre in the west so not terribly affected by the giant wave 🙂

Judging by the condition of the Beetle, they should have stayed in their car... It faired really well.
