Lowlight dual cab on Addison Road marrickville. Working bus - two old guys clearing out a yard. Saw it two days in a row last week. Great to see them still working (the busses that is - not the old guys).

if it was a grey 58, it's mine - and it is in pretty mint condition :D ....

my trucky rang me today .... said that he was (finally) in Sydney with my beetle ... but has had "truck troubles" ... will apparently drop it off at the workshop tomorrow :D .... he is only 3 weeks late :evil: - i was beginning to worry that it had been "misplaced" :cry: ..... as it left victoria over a week ago ...

still, better late than never .... i will post up some pix when the workshop has finished with it and it's finally in my hands :D
