They published a slick mag called Vintage Volkswagen about a year ago....it
lasted ONE issue and went belly-up as well! I got the same sort of letter
from them when the vintage mag went under...fortunately I had the
subscription on credit card and protested the charge and got my money back.

I wonder if their VW Camper magazine is next!

It's too bad as the mags were well produced and had decent articles.
