On the Road
Stories of VW fans taking the biggest leap of faith continue to inspire me every day. Today’s tale I found via the Australia Post website of the Badger Family who took to the highways in their 1975 Bay Window bus. […]
VW Single Cab Inspo
I’ve been following JC at Volkswear on Youtube and his start Resto of a VW Single cab. His latest edition tackles a job I’m due to do next on my own bus. NOT looking forward to it! JC also has […]
Going a bit nutty about my #Forester lately. Driving it more and more and loving it. Had a dream that I took it across the globe from Singapore to London. How awesome would that be.

Volkswagen Spectacular 2018

Old Eyre Highway
There was this section of the old Eyre Highway that was perfect. It was a solid half an hour drive of smooth-ish track. The vegetation was short so if there was any kangaroos around you had plenty of warning. It […]
