  • A different perspective

    I love the fact that these guys are a little closer to where I live in NEPA, we only get to enjoy our VW’s six months of the year, but the scene is strong from the mid west to the eastern seaboard and I hope this podcast helps to make more future VW owners!

  • Great podcast

    Great new VW podcast from the Midwest. Air cooled VW’s do exist east of California, it’s fun to hear about VW’s out in the cold.

    Keep the content coming, especially tech help and product reviews.
