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 I just love reading old vw magazines sure some of the info is out of date but its nice to look back.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!!

what titles are they Aussie or American ?? what years ???

Any articals on Trakka kombis? if so i would love a copy, or for that matter any australian bay window camper conversion

theyre mostly hot vw's Vw trends 82 onwards and some of the australian vw magazines i already have about half of them
none on the trakka conversions but i'm sure i have an article on a trakka somewhere as ive got one myself ( or so I think) it actually still had the original brochure for it send us your addrees and I'll send you a photocopy

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!@!!!!)

Do you want a listing of the issues that were printed... I have the ful sets back to the 60s

we are moving the laundry up stairs so my wife doesnt have to make her way throught the garage so thats where they'll be going.
