Welcome to Ultra VW, the world's leading air-cooled authority - this is the publication for the discerning Volkswagen enthusiast!
The editor says...
There’s
been a bit of a smug buzz around the office this past week as it seems
our efforts to promote the good word of Ultra VW wherever and whenever
possible have been recognised by some publishing bigwigs! You see,
Ultra VW was recently awarded Silver in the category of Circulation
Excellence and Endeavour by a specialist magazine at the 2008 ACE
(Association of Circulation Executives) annual awards ceremony, which
is great news, and just goes to prove that we must be doing something
right! Of course, we’re not about to rest on our laurels, far from it.
In fact, next month Ultra VW will include a free Camper and Type 2
supplement (our third such issue, in fact). So if vans do it for you,
there’ll be plenty to look forward to next month, and that’s as well as
our usual mix of feature cars from around the globe, too! Paul Knight
