Rat owners wanted for article!

My new online magazine will be coming together very soon! It deals with hotrods, kustoms, racing and of course Volkswagens.

For the first issue I wil be running a story on the re-emergence of the rat in the VW scene.

For Sydney peole I can probably catch up with you for a few pics and a chat to get the story - for those outside the Sydney metro I would be interested in pics and some info.

U2U me if you want to be part of this exposition....

I was specifically looking for types 1 and 3 as I plan to do a different story later on bus culture - so would rather the buses for then, unless it is something that would really standout.

:repuke I only have a poobaja... like a rat but the mud, muck and dirt at times gives it the mobile cowpat effect, especially when little bits of grass n stuff get stuck in it ;)
