Every four years during European mid-summer a little German town located in lower Saxony on the river Weser becomes a hub of activity for the vintage VW enthusiasts. If you ask an average German where the town of Hessisch Oldendorf is, he probably would have no clue, but ask a VW fan and he will tell you exactly where it is and what goes on there. Towards the end of June 2013 Hessisch Oldendorf, or HO as it is affectionately known, gave up its idyllic peace and quiet for three days when the streets of this sleepy little town come alive with the whine and crunch of non-synchronised gearboxes and the smell of half burned fuel. HO is located just over 100 Km from Wolfsburg and 40 Km from Hanover, both important landmarks in VW history. The Hessisch Oldendorf meeting is synchronised with another major German vintage show at Bad Camberg so that every two years there is a dedicated vintage VW event to go to in Germany.

    

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.
