Zeitschrift Magazine
Club VeeDub Sydney publishes an excellent monthly magazine named ‘Zeitschrift’. This funny-sounding word (it’s pronounced ‘SITE-shrift’) is German for ‘magazine’. All Club members and sponsors receive a copy each month, either as emailed full-colour PDF that can be used on any digital device, or as an old-fashioned printed copy. Spare printed issues are available from the Secretary at the monthly meeting.
The magazine is your forum! We welcome all letters, articles and contributions of general VW interest. We’re always looking for stories on Australian VW history, VW adventures, technical how-tos, workshop tech tips, old VW artwork, VW road tests…you get the idea. We appreciate people writing us stories about club runs they’ve been on, or other VW stuff they’ve done recently. Or you could write to us about your special VW.
We produce 12 issues per year, one each month. Each issue contains an up-to-date calendar of coming events, VW For-Sales/Wanteds (‘Marktplatz’), and all the latest VW news and articles. Marktplatz ads are free for members; just email the Editor. They're $10 for non-members. To submit a For sale/Wanted in the next issue, please click here.
Close-off date for all submissions is the first Thursday of each month. The magazine is published and distributed on second Thursday of each month, arriving in members’ letterboxes or email inbox a few days before the monthly meeting.
From the very first issue in 1985 until 2006, the magazine was produced with messy Gestetners and photocopiers. We have selected hundreds of the best articles from these early years, on all VW topics, and they are available, sorted by category, for your reading pleasure under the Old Articles page.
Since then, all issues from August 2006 have been produced as PDFs, and all but the first two of these are full colour. Almost all are available for free downloading – just select the year you are interested in, and click on an issue to download. The most recent issues are for Club Veedub members only.
