Run by two greats !!

I have subscribed.

Check out VW trends & Volksworld online, also Hot VW's & Dune Buggys have some good issues & articles, get you're local newsagent to order them in, buy them for a few months & the decide which ones to subscribe to

I found VW trends to be better value...
under 10 bucks and no so many ad's


Stanley - August 24th, 2003 at 08:28 PM

here here on VW Trends got sick of paying for ads with hot vw's only buy it now if there's something really interesting.


Mr Bubble Head - August 25th, 2003 at 09:22 PM

I also only buy hot vw or trends if thereis a feature I really want as I dont like the amount of ads

I find Volks world always a good read carn't wait until it hits the door step each month.

I just got my copy of Ultra VW through airmail today and it's very good. I think in a couple of issues it will be as good/better than Volksworld. I personally only buy the American mags if there is something particular in there that I want. Aside form 100's of ads I hate the crappy b&w pics and the way the features start on one page and finish with half a paragraph 27 pages away.


Unity-28 - August 27th, 2003 at 10:33 AM

I argee Chris! I havent seen Ultra yet, but Im sure it will be cool, considering Paul Knight and Keith Sueme are involved!

N!

theres a pic of the Toorak laundry van in the VW classic review.


Purple Martin - August 27th, 2003 at 03:01 PM

Can you get Ultra VW at newsagents here, or do you have to subscribe to the airmail thing?


vw54 - August 27th, 2003 at 06:07 PM

I buy them all, but wont buy the new one cause i dont think it will last...

Remember Total VW and VW and Ausi car out of the UK...

WE NEED ONE HERE IN AUSSIE NOW


bugboymatt - August 27th, 2003 at 07:10 PM

Just got home with my ULTRAVW waiting on the doorstep !!!

Just had a quick flick through but looks great.

Hey Dave
TotalVW started out as the aircooled advertiser in the U.K. and the mag went for about 4 years, at least some one gave it a go.
With your attitude of not buying a mag cause it is new ,,,,,,no wonder they dont last long.
So that means you wouldnt buy an aussie one cause it is new,,, where is the logic in that, i cant understand.
Yet you want an aussie mag.????
So total only lasted 4 years how long do they have to be out before you would consided buying one????


jenz58 - August 28th, 2003 at 08:07 PM

I love Super VW the French mag:cool:

Can't read a thing in it but the pics are always very kewl:thumb:kiss
