Hi Guys.
Went to the local swap meet yesterday,and although there were no vw parts in sight i did grab this bargain.Its a "Wheels magazine of motoring" from may 1953
for ......how much........50cents.馃槏 馃槉

Some of you might be thinking why did you buy this crap.I like old time capsules like these things,the older the better ya cant pass something like that up for 50cents considering you would pay around 30bucks on ebay excluding postage.馃槀
Hope the pic works.

yeh its was really good mate,its getting better and bigger every year.lots of gear and nice cars.
they had a little vintage van section this year,which was pretty cool.i only saw one beetle there
as we were leaving,but i dont think it was a show car.That will all change next year,i hope to have beetle
in there next year.That will turn some heads.馃槀,we should tee it up mate,do you have a near ready project.lol
