I'm originally from Johannesburg South Africa, I've been living in Perth for 10 years now, with a 12 month stint on the Eastern seaboard.
I've owned pretty much all VW variants and owned a 1980 T3 transporter for 29 years.
My current drive is a 2005 VW T5 Transporter 1.9 panel van, and landed on this page looking for various bits of advice, and found heaps.
