As the VW scene exploded in Europe during the 80s, air and water cooled fans seemed to have little in common. Most Mk1 Golfs were near new vehicles, as production of that model only stopped in 1984. So obviously nobody called them 'old school' back then. Owners of the most notable cars of the era often installed body kits, sometime of questionable aesthetics. Styling seemed to go from bad to worse after the turn of the millennium, with the dreaded scissor doors (a.k.a. 'Lambo doors'), along with countless gaudy paintjobs and interiors.

    

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.
