"Austin" The 1979 Bay

I have just bought my very first Kombi, he is a yellowy-orange with a white roof, and looks like brand new. I am so excited, and very much Kombi obsessed now. I have named him Austin. He Rocks!

Our world changed for the better in 2006 when we went from driving new cars to driving our 1974 Kombi camper. Not only have we had lots of fun driving Wilbur he has opened up a whole new world to us. We have meet a never ending supply of great friends all over Australia. We are now joined by a 1971 low light dual cab named fog lamp

I'm Paul (Vanders) and I live in sunny Launceston, Tasmania with my family. Betty Blue is my second Kombi. She is a 78 Microbus Deluxe and is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I also have a couple of other kombis awaiting restoration (Bullet, Big Bird and Bargain). With 3 kids I one day hope that each will have their own kombi.

Fritz

My name is Fritz, I am a 1974 Kombi.

I was once owned by a man in Penrith. He had to let me go because of family commitments. He said, "It's not you man, it's me. I made the decision to get married. I made the decision to have kids. And now I have to make the decision to let my last slippery grasp of freedom go. I love you man."

Brenton from Newcastle then took me into his life. We'd hang out together with his mates, go camping, and just muck around together all the time. We became great mates. Brenton moved down to Melbourne and I started to feel a bit self-conscious amongst all the flash new and streamlined cars - I had some real self-esteem problems and developed anorexia automobilia. Brenton knew it was time for me to move on.

Stella & Paul from Cairns said they'd love to bring me up to their place - it's about as far away as you can get from the snooty BMWs of Melbourne. Their mates Kazu, Reade & Michael met me & Kazu organised mechanical repairs.

Nowadays I live in the tropics - I scoot around the Cairns region doing mundane things like taking Paul & Stella to work and more interesting things like whizzing up to Port Douglas for lunch or gamboling around the tablelands looking at stuff. It's not a bad life for a Kombi, I guess... but I'm pretty keen to do some more long trips when I can get the boofheads who are my Pilot & Navigator organised.

Anyone interested in an occasional Cairns Cruising Kombi Convoy?

Jman and his van.

My 1968 Van will always be a work in progress. Mods revolve around Scruff-rod/Hot-rod styling. I call it Scruff-rod. Lowered over skinny front and widened rear Beetle rims and some mods to boot: Twin webber ICT's, 1680cc, Stinger exhaust, Scat Dragfast shifter with a Van Chase skull shift knob, and some cool old sport seats. Just some good, rough fun. Loudest Kombi in Hobart. Yeah!

Our first kombi was our 76 Camper (Jack) and we've been hooked ever since. And our family has grown since then, moving into a 77 microbus when our twins were born. Unfortunately when our 7th child was born we didn't have the room and sadly had to move onto a 10 seater non-kombi bus. Now that our eldest has moved on, we have been able to get back into the "Kombi club". Now we have a 76 camper (Lucy) and a microbus (name yet to be confirmed - maybe Scooby)! Its good to be back!! :-)

Mrs Peel

Um,.......live a busy lifestyle, and thought that owning a Kombi would be a perfect opportunity to just pack it up and 'leave' socitey for a couple of days. The dogs have sorted themselves out and have their own place to sit whist on the road. After a bumpy start, have slowly started doing little things to make it our own. Previously, we couldn't understand why everyone was so Kombi Krazy. Until you get one for yourself, only then, can truly understand. Named her Mrs Peel, after the character from the 60's cult TV Show- The Avengers, both Retro and nothing but class!!
