Our DNA defines who we are, and for car enthusiasts, our genetic chemistry can even permeate through to our choice of car. Andrew Memone thought his first car, a 1998 WRX AWD with a 2 litre turbo was his perfect biological match, until he drove a friends Golf GTI. Although scientists will argue that DNA modification is still some years away, Andrew's genetic disposition to the VAG stable was swift and voracious, with a succession of VWs and Audis finally leading to this stunning S5 Quattro! A test drive of an Audi S5 in 2009 immediately impressed Andrew with the low down torque and amazing turn of speed from the 4.2L FSI V8. The S5 could produce power from incredibly low RPMs in any gear through the six speed manual transmission driving all four wheels.

    

VW Magazine Australia

VWMA is an Australian owned and published enthusiasts magazine serving both the aircooled and watercooled Volkswagen scene nationally. Published quarterly (Feb, May, Aug, Nov), the magazine is available through newsagents Australia wide or via subscription, and covers every aspect of the hobby, from the very early models through to the latest innovations, motorsport, offroad, kit, custom, books, toys and shows. If it doesn't appear in VWMA then it isn't VW related.

Now in its seventh year, VWMA also hosts two drag racing weekends, sponsors a variety of VW shows, and supports events across the country. Printed and distributed by Australian companies, VWMA is also fortunate to have access to a talented pool of home based VW photojournalists and print/web technicians, who work with VWMA to produce quality VW entertainment each issue. And in 2011, the magazine's website has evolved to encompass the online and portable information revolution with the inclusion of additional media content to enrich the printed reading experience.
