For as long as I have known Troy Alder, his bi-line has always been the Type3 King, a fond reference to his first VeeDub - a Type 3 Fastback. The Fasty was purchased from his grandparents when he was 15 years old, and although the initial aim was to simply tidy and pass rego, the Fastback became a full on restoration project. The Type 3 went through several incarnations, mostly interior and accessory items as the trends changed and the show scene developed, but the engine always remained the faithful 1600 Pancake.

    

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.
