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
Sadly I didn’t have a Volkswagen this year to take to the VW Spectacular show on the East coast. I did however still own a flat four cylinder (Subaru) so that would slightly redeem me (in my own mind at […]
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 […]
