I just recieved my LAST copy of this fine VW magazine.
Looks like they have gone belly up and decided theres too much competion in the VW magzine world, in the UK
I find this sad especially after the magazine has been printed for some 45 years.
I have every single issue back to number one in 1961, and even had a feature done on my 1956 Oval a few years ago.
Thats 2 VW magazines in the past year or so with VW Trends going down
dont thing i will get any of my subscrition funds back
:cry :cry :cry
is Volksworld still going?
i used to get them but havent bought one for years as the newsagents around here just dont bother getting them anymore
i gave up on vw mags they seem to just dissapear off the shelf overnight and u never hear of them again

Yeah Volksworld still going I think it was the killer of VW Motoring
You have to get yr local newsagent to order the mag 4 U
I really think the pic of the bunch is ultraVW now. all the best european, us cars and some aussie cars (+ porsches), all in colour (unlike VW trends), without 50 million trillion zillion ads (hotvws) and the articles cut in half, half in front of the mag, half in the back (vwtrends and hotvws). It's also a good balance between anal purist cars and all out custom jobs. I was going to subscribe but I figured out it cost roughly the same to buy it from the local newso.
Only buy VWaus mag always but if i have been good i will buy ultra vw and for a very special treat Volksworld.Half the fun is trying to find them. The USA ones are full of ads and not worth the price mind you the pommy ones aint cheap.
i started with nothing and have most of it left !
Apart from the VWA Magazine, the Ultra VW Magazine is best...
I used to like Total VW, but I believe it has also Gone... UK magazine...
Ultra VW sort of replaced it...
but a different publisher I believe......
I heard where the US VW Magazine that came out after VW trends has finished too....
Hope VWA keeps going....
its the largest best quality VW magazine We have ever had
I probably have all the others too...

With the amount of stories on my desk, VWMA has a momentum all of its own.
Managing to fit them all in within a reasonable time frame due to the constraints of a quarterly mag is the biggest challenge. Thankfully, most people are prepared to wait and watch the publication grow.
Many thanks all for the support, especially from AVD readers.
Keep it up Craig
its fantastic for our Australian Volkswagen World, its great to read all about our Aussie cars for a change
Keep it up Craig ...100 pages last issue ...great!!!Love it!!!
Cheers&Beers

I didn't know VW Motoring was still going! I remember buying my first copy in March '73 when it was still called Safer Motoring and it had a blue beetle on the front cover.
Hi,
I used to get Safer Motoring...
but when it stopped being printed
, I didn't get anything else...
Only bought Aussie VW Mags when I could find them...
Don't tell Craig, but one of them was printed in Black & White on crappy newspaper type paper...
but its too late anyway...
We Are Now used to seeing a Colorful VWA magazine in full Glossy color on quality paper and 100 pages....
sorry Craig,

I haven't seen a VW [official] magazine for years...
I think VWA will continue to do well....
I keep telling VW owners about it,
and its surprising how many people still haven't heard of it..??
I don't read the US VW magazines....
even if they are given to Me...
