Snail by nature not by name, the VW T2 Kombi was never known for its pace. In standard guise the 0-100 mark is usually set at sometime next week, and top speed is often quoted down a steep hill with a tail wind. Only a Kombi enthusiast can see the lighter side of such mirth, and Myles Arber and Shana Simpson took the snail analogy one step further. Myles and Shana had plans to travel Australia in Kombi camper style, and an old, battered 1972 Bay had been purchased with the aim to convert it into a camper.

    

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.
