Have just found out that 2 VWA movies are on the DVD that comes with the Limited Edition, one is 'The Shape Of Quality' - a 30 colour film on the Clayton manufacturing plant featuring the faithful Beetle and Type 3. The images and quality of this film will insire you I'm sure. The other movie is yet another Aussie VW film titled 'Young is the Land' - a 15 minute colour film depicting Australia in the early 1960s, naturally with their Volkswagens. Here we see some plant workings, transporters and a brand new Ruby Red Beetle at the beach. Nolstagic fun!

Got my limited edition in the mail today and it looks awesome. Have watched the DVD and it is really interesting. I can't get over how everything was done by hand. Just loved their method of testing the brakes ...... drive off the ramp, jump on them and come to a screetching halt !

P.S I am number 38, no special reason,

$150 for the limited Edition. Worth every cent, ring rod on his number located in this post on the first page.

If you buy one of the standard editions ($77) from a book shop like technicle books shop and the like, it does not come with the VW parts box. Only mail orders from AF publications or Phone orders to Rod. Also the limited edition ONLY comes from Rod via mail order or ring him direct. Once the limited edition goes there will be no more of them produced.
The current VWMA edition has a write up on this book plus ordering info. I think Bill Moore in Sydney has a few as well to buy from.

Pete, you will love the DVD! :thumb
