While the articles may be silly, they are not the only reason for the demise
of VWT. I wish I knew a few more people who were as enthusiastic about VW as Lois. I know her from my old days in NEATO and the stories she wrote about her Single Cab (Vern?) were pretty good then.

I don't doubt that she's a nice person and that she loves her single cab but whoever hired her to write a monthly column about practically nothing ought to have their head examined. |

VolksWorld from the UK. The magazine that I feel is the best monthly aircooled VW publication in existence today.

They don't appear to be "dieing". They just last month changed the cover art and format. They finished a resto on a super 2 issues ago. Last issue they started a ground up resto on a bus. Seems like an awful long term project for a mag that is closing up shop. I wonder how many people have read it recently. The tech article I have seen have been well done and seem well researched. They are saying the same things that people on this group are. I hope it is just a rumor. I am subscribed untill 2010......*8-} -- the Grokdoc Tom Malmevik all that groks is god 67 Baja "marti" |

I'm with you, regardless of what others may think, I love this mag. Maybe
it's because I'm a newbie at all this, and maybe when I'm as experienced as the rest of you, I'll think its a rag. But right now, it gives me what I need in a language I can understand. Plus I can read it when I'm not at the computer. I love the internet and the wealth of knowledge it offers, but I love my print media as well and am not ready to see it dwindle. I hope this is just a nasty rumor and live on VWTrends!
