Is anyone on the list subscribing to or purchasing a magazine with a
reasonable amount of Syncro content?

The best I've been able to spot is from Volksworld VW Magazine
(http://www.volksworld.co.uk), which has a sister title "Camper & Bus".

There is not much online about this mag save for a few screenshots and
subscription info here at

http://www.magazinesubscriptionsipc.com/ipc/subs/subsorder.asp?title=XVC&promcode=IVCP&ctryid=


I thought this mag was only bi-monthly, so at 57 Quid / $140AUD, this
is quite pricey for 6 issues per annum to OZ.

Does anyone subscribe or can confirm this is the case? and would you
recommend it or another publication?

Thoughts appreciated.

Regards,
Mark.

As a general rule, I find that the Internet provides far more information than magazines, particularly the Syncro specific groups.  Toss in Google and there's an absolute wealth of information available.  As an example, I once commented on the ABS fitted to some Syncros.  I was promptly told that there was never any such thing and that it is not possible to have ABS on a full time 4WD.  (This latter is incorrect in any event.  I built all of the Adventra prototypes, which have full time 4WD and ABS.)  But, I did a search on Google and came up with the specifics of the ABS that was production fitted to some Syncros.
 
Cost also comes into it, for me anyway.  Magazine subscriptions can add up to a lot over a year.  Having said that, I have taken out a subscription to VWMA because of the Tour 07 feature and because it is local.

Volksworld Camper & Bus has just gone monthly.

There is also "Volkswagen Camper & Commercial" ( www.volkswagencamper.co.uk ) which has some syncro stuff and is bi-monthly.

I actually got my local newsagent to get Volksworld Camper & Bus in. It's not that easy because the distributors ( Network ) are a little "difficult" to deal with. Also the Newsagent may have trouble finding it as it isn't listed under it's title but under VW Camper & Bus. And as Phill says it has now gone monthly.

There is a guy on the Gold Coast that imports Volksworld Camper & Bus (as well as Kombi & T25 parts). He is a sponsor of the Kombi forum.
