just love magazines
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magazines sure some of the info is out of date but its nice to look back.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?

actually go walking mysteriously!!

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!@!!!!)
