Nearly choaked on my stir fry when I looked out the window and saw a beige 51 split beetle parked on Unley Rd on saturday night opposite Red Rock noodle bar Unley. Cool number plates too VW:1951. Anyone know the story of this car?
This is the third Spilt beetle in as many weeks now... what's the deal? Is the cold weather bringing them out or something?!
nice spotto - I woulda choked on my fried rice too!
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
Now that IS rare as.....
Imagine leaving it parked on the street at night...
think of all those tilt tray trucks with winches...
It must have been street rego... Not club rego....
Rare again..... just think driving a car in the streets at night in a car with cable brakes.... YIKES...
Some people drive on the edge.....

Certainly not something you would drive up the street to pick up your dim sims, maybe he was on way home from a club outing, had club stickers on window.
Yes its a REAL split oval,
It is also driven regularly!
Not stored.........
"O.S.K"
We make it happen!
that's Barry Lord's car.
it's a '51 that he imported himself from Rhodesia.
he drives ir regularly, and it's a lovely car to drive, I've been lucky enough to have had the pleasure.
Most people seem normal, till you get to know them.
