All cars in Australia are RHD made, except the private imports from LHD countries. |

Hi,
I spotted some old abandoned vdubs close to Geelong in Victoria. I have the exact location and some pics on my blog: http://slammedsixty.blogspot.com/
Could somebody please go and rescue some of the dubs? I can't, will leave the country in a few months.
Cheers,
Jan |

That's interesting. I bet it's someone who is collecting the dubs somehow. But it's a shame they are just parked in a field outside exposed to the elements. |

Don't worry, they will be in a container heading to a port somewhere soon no doubt. _________________ ( ⫏ ⫐ )

I'll count you in because I am sure I feel just as isolated over here in Perth.
I would be lucky to see any old VWs more than a few times a week and very lucky to see any other type 3 which is my favourite flavour VW.
Go type 3s! _________________ John
