Lee Moran neither had to look nor travel far to score his first bug. This '67 Beetle, advertised on the web and located directly across the road from his apartment, was only a simple exercise of lining up both driveways and pushing the car across the road - if only it was that easy every time. Originally from the UK, Lee was surrounded by a vibrant VW community, which began close to home with his aunt driving a Beetle, his grandfather likewise, his mother a Polo and his father a Golf Gti. Despite all this VW culture, including his bedroom plastered with VW magazines, his parents bought him a Mini for his 18th birthday? The gift was graciously accepted, but Lee continued to drop many a hint that a Beetle would be more his style.

    

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.
