This is the only magazine dedicated to the late model VW buses from the T4 and T5 on. The magazine acknowledges the evolution of the VW bus and spotlights where this symbol of freedom and adventure has now arrived: the T4 and T5 - taking their rightful place in the family of VW models and carrying on the tradition of quality and innovation that is the ever iconic VW Bus.

BUS OF THE YEAR • THIS IS OUR SELECTION, BUT THE FINAL CHOICE IS YOURS
SUBTLETY IS THE KEY
THE HOTTEST HAREWOOD EVER! • With temperatures at thirty degrees plus and cavalcades of big-engined Buses, Bugs, Golfs and Ghias, this was undoubtedly the hottest Harewood Festival Yorkshire has ever seen.
THE MEMORY MAKER • Meet Lancashire lass June Kenyon and her fully restored, prize-winning and memory-making early T4. Her son-in-law, the larger-than-life Argy, won’t be far away
NO WORDS DESCRIBE IT! • Here’s something of a rarity, just like a song without words, but for coachbuilder’s Scorbel, it’s a brochure short on the written ‘stuff’.

TOO GOOD TO LET GO • Big V Kampers built their latest demo van—and sold it to company co-founder Mike Post when he realised that he couldn’t stand letting it go to anyone else
FRIENDS REUNITED • After the 43-degree furnace-like stickiness and peak season intensity of Saint-Julien-en-Born, we were craving the open road and a quiet off-grid pitch for the night.
WEEKEND AT JAY’S • It sounds like a weekend at your mate’s gaff, apart from the fact that your mate would need 10.5 hectares to play with
OLD AL’S ALMANAC • In a time honoured tradition, when the new year dawns, I get to share my predictions for the year ahead with you in ‘Old Al’s Almanac’. Oddly, and in a break with tradition, one or two of my predictions turned out to be vaguely accurate last year. Who knows, it might happen again this year…
DAILY CAMPMOBILE! • In the 1960s VWoA christened the term Campmobile—an all-embracing word encompassing school bus, daily driver and versatile camper. Now Joel Whitehead has taken the concept several steps forward
72 HOURS IN WALES • Mission: A good hike, a waterfall dip, beaches, sea paddleboarding, swimming, sunsets, sunrises, and of course, some relaxing – all within three days off work.
SNAKE BITE • This Viper Green Caddy is a real lowdown snake in the grass
ORIGINS OF THE HIGH TOP • The revolutionary VW panel van might have been on sale from 1950, but it was eleven years later before a high roof version was added.
PERFECT DAY • If Carlsberg did VW shows—they’d all be something like Beach Dubbin’

PARTY LIKE IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY • Busfest celebrated its tenth birthday in 2022; it’s all big and grown up and wearing long trousers now.
SMOKEY SPATCHCOCK CHICKEN • After a couple of barren months, I’ve had another challenge and this month’s recipe is for Joseph Stone, who emailed from the windswept wilds of Yorkshire to ask how best to cook a whole chicken on the barbecue.
WATER VS AIR • What’s the best, water-cooled or air-cooled VWs? Or...
