It rained, and it rained some more, but that did not dampen the spirits of the Victorian VW show crowd. As expected, numbers were slightly down, but cars are meant to be driven and those who hold this mantra high braved the inclement weather. The rain did eventually stop - after the official closing ceremony - but its lingering presence did not interrupt the show programme. There was also another incentive to brave the rain and cold. Hosted by the Volkswagen Club of Victoria, the 2104 show celebrated the club's 60th anniversary and the show highlight this year was the club raffle, a 1967 Beetle.

    

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.
