The way I see it is I deal with people I know and trust and buying stuff off the net and having it shipped here worries me that it will go missing or the wrong parts get sent. Then the drama of sending it back etc is a pain. Love being able to pick up the phone and call someone on the same time line as you are and speaks the same language lol. Plus I do like to support where possible the businesses out there that support the Aussie volksy scene
ACCEPT THAT SOME DAYS YOU ARE THE PIDGEON AND SOME DAYS YOU ARE THE STATUE
Alder Outlaws VW Racing - check it out on fb!!
Or do as I do go to were the suppliers over here get them from, the States ,and miss out the middle man.
Usually get them as quick and save some money.

Ay Dad! can you move the kombi? i need to move the 58 beetle so we can get the baja out off shed and get 69 beetle in🤪
i have only been in vw scene for 3 years, and yes subsrcibe to VWMAustralia, And cannot wait for next issue to arrive and fight my 11 year old son and dad to whom is going to get first to read. For $7.50 every 3 months we get informed of what events are coming up in Australia and great photos or information for those we miss and unable to attend. And reading the history and understanding the work gone into published rides of fellow Mexicans, S.A included and also appreciate whats happening with our Cockroach and Cain Toad comrades in Australia !! but at least being able to find a reputable dealer to talk to in Australia and help me with what i want helps? (there are ads in every magazine) been bent over on internet and by buying direct from overseas, been to a few events here in victoria,and craig has driven down to attend, he couldnt possibly get to them all could he?? and to see the hard work craig and guys put into portland must be commended,

Well, today I had another present dropped off by my favourite postie 🙂
And now I've got another mag to the list,
'Type' is an english A5 mag with content from all over the world, fantastic read well worth checking out (The latest Airmighty is pretty good too 😉 )
Only available through "Fuel"
I subscribe to VWMA, Hot VW's and VolksWorld. I wasn't even aware that there were other publications out there (apart from Ultra VW)... I'll have to try to get a look at them. Of course, VWMA is my favourite as it contains info and reviews about local VW stuff... my kids play 'where's Ratty' with the show pics 😀
With that said, I am still trying to find time to sit down and properly read last months Hot VW's and VolksWorld, and I have only just finished reading the last VWMA! Please don't go monthly or bi-monthly Craig or I will never catch up (or get anything done on my VW's!).
On the subject of magazines, I have just tried to re-new my Hot VW's subscription on-line and my browser is warning me that the subscription site is not a 'trusted site' and not to enter any personal information, which I thought was a bit strange .... has anyone else had this problem?

PS: Jeff's post X 4
40hp, 6V and ...er... slowly making improvements

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!
Founding member of the Gold Coast Dub Club Inc. 🙂i have been buying vw related magazines since i had a paper delivery job.
when i was 12 years old i love to read the articles adds included
all part of the enjoyment of owning or just being like part of the whole scene.
i turn 40 this september . these magazines are what keep my inspiration
alive and kicking vma is a fine publication and out of them all my personal
favorite .we have to support our homegrown after all.i have lived in australia
since november of 1989.the scene and reporting on it have come along very well.
no complaints here👍
👍ps jeffs post x5
My Favourite is Volks World Camper & Bus UK mag, then VW Camper & Commercial another UK mag, then VWMA Australia I wish VWMA was out monthly I would buy it every month
I also like reading VW club newsletters I like Zeitschrift the best however WA, Vic and SA clubs have good newsletters also
I think the USA magazines have to many adverts not enough content I still buy them occasionally
I have a slight addition to reading VW mags along with many other VW addictions
