I came home the other day and some kind veedubber had left a big box of old vw magazines under my house what a score. I just love reading old vw magazines sure some of the info is out of date but its nice to look back.
Makes me wonder though how many of the chopped up custom cars are rusting away somewhere now?🙁

Man I wish VW stuff (even if it is just mags) turned up under my house mysteriously!! Then again, I hope the VW stuff under my house doesn't actually go walking mysteriously!!

Lucky Sod, I lost most of my really old mags in a bushfire back in the mid-eighties - I love looking up the old stuff, dreaming about the prices and laughing at some of the fashions (those 70s-early eighties hairstyles!!! and lake pipes on a beetle!@!!!!)
