Craig,
How is it that the mags been on the shelf at the start of Feb but I never get my subscription till weeks later.

Mainly coz I'm hanging out to read it! It's bloody hard work not just going to our newsagent and getting it.
Terry

On behalf of Australia Post I apologise
I'm reviewing my print and delivery times for the next issue to make Australia Post look more efficient. Changes on January 1st affected Print Post
customers without warning, increasing costs and reducing the service. Rest assured I am working to resolve the problem by the May issue.

We have the same problem with Australia Post and our monthly Zeitschrift club magazine. Greater postage costs and less service. Most of our members
now receive our magazine as a digiital PDF - immediate and easy. However having a paper magazine in your hands is nice.
Nice article on the 'wind' VW names Craig. The Jetta and Bora are named after winds as you say - but don't forget the Mk3 Golf version, the Vento -
also named after a wind. Some have also claimed that the Polo is named after the Polar winds - don't know about that.
I found the Golf Cabriolet article hard to read. Who says the later bodykit Mk1 versions are named the 'Clipper'? Not by Volkswagen they weren't. I
have many hundreds of VW books, magazines and brochures in my library and I have never heard it called that before. In fcat, 'Clipper' was the
proposed official name VW was going to use for the deluxe T2 Microbus for Europe in the early 1970s, but was prevented from doing so by Pan-Am. Their
aircraft always used 'clipper' in their names and call-signs.
I suspect 'clipper' is just another dumb nickname made up recently by the Brits - like 'swallowtail', or 'zwitter', or 'wedge', or 'razor',
or 'bay window'. Do the Brits feel insecure, having been slow to embrace the VW, that they now need to rename all the VW models in their own terms?
VW sold more cars in Australia than in the UK until the late 1960s, in spite of our much smaller population. We have no need to follow the poms and to
feel any need to use pommy VW nicknames. Volkswagen never used those bogan names, so I won't either.

Thanks Craig,
I didn't want to seem upset. I guessed it was the Oz post thing. Especially here in the country where they take extra time for most post and surprise
the hell out of you occassionally by delivering something while you think about buying it.
Can't wait to read it by the way.
