Welcome to my VW based News Blog

I've decided to take the plunge and start a Volkswagen based News Blog.

Some of you may know me under my alias 'phaeton' on such sites as The Car Lounge, VWvortex, GermanCarZone, vwwatercooled.org, Volksforum International and CarSpyshots etc.

My love for the Volkswagen brand cannot be matched to anything else, I've been a fan for the brand for over 12 years.

I love all parts of Volkswagen: aircooled, watercooled, club scene, forum scene, vans, trucks and buses and even VWs from around the globe.

So stay tuned for all the VW News I can blog.
Cheers
Ben from the land Down Under
