spotted a nice black new beetle at Swinburne's Hawthorn campus last night.

I've seen that too - or else I've seen A nice black new beetle there. If you're there often you might see mine parked there.

i go on mon and wed nights...

i gather that is yours in your avatar??? i haven't seen it there yet... though there are lots of places to park.

Hehe, I've been going Mon and Weds during the day. Although I've finished for the semester now! Exams in a couple of weeks.

Yes mine is in my avatar - it's a bit different now(wheels/exhaust/tinting), but still the same colour.

car looks good in pic. i would probably just miss seeing it each time i go.
