After Seath Craig wrapped his custom Torana around a tree, the 18 year old was introduced to a more sedate 1966 Beetle that his parents considered a safer option. The bug instantly took hold, and Seath and his grandfather got stuck into learning the ins and outs of these cheap, fun German cars. The backyard soon became littered with several Beetles as part cars, and Seath was well on the way to VW fanaticism. But as quickly as it had all started, the party ended, and Seath sold the lot and moved away from the scene without a second thought. Still immersed in cars, he was a regular at the Bright Hod Rod Run in Victoria, and it was during one such run that he spotted a couple of girls driving a ratty looking Beetle. His latent VW spark was immediately re-ignited and in a short span of 4 weeks he had found his new VW ride - a 1960 Beetle. The madness had began all over again!

    

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.
