Welcome back, Air Cooled Fans!

The original South African forum, AircooledVWSA, is officially back online! After a bit of downtime, the community is revving its engines once again.
It’s incredible to think this platform has been around for over 21 years—it actually predates social media as we know it today. If you haven’t signed up yet, head over to
www.aircooledvwsa.co.za to join the family. Let’s work together to keep the air-cooled VW scene in South Africa thriving for another two decades!
Does anyone perhaps have any contact with the original founder of this Forum, Eben van Ellewee?

I’m so glad the forum is back online. 21 years of knowledge being shared build an encyclopedia that I would often refer back to.

Nice one guys.
I'm still here, just not as often as before as life is extremely busy and I'm also getting tired of being behind a PC.
At some point I need to do a projects update. For now though, as some of you know, I've left CPT and am now in CAW land...
