Scotty Alder is a part of a special breed of VW lovers that is rarely found. He comes from a pedigree of Volkswagen enthusiasts based near Brisbane in Queensland, with a family of fanatics that live and breathe Volkswagen. At last count the ALDER family have a combined total of over 20 Volkswagens of all kinds, from Beetles to Barndoors, Golfs, off-road Bay Windows and Formula Vees. The “Alder Outlaws” racing team was formed 2 years ago, and already has 7 cars that race proudly under the banner, including 'Filmore' the Drag Splitty. Powered by a 3.4 litre Porsche flat six air cooled engine, with a whopping great Garret Turbo, this car has proven itself a force to be reckoned with, recording a 10.5 second pass so far for the 1/4, and a huge fan base to boot.

    

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.
