Greetings from Malaysia!

EEeeeeeekkkkhhhhh!!!! A Bug Collector??!!!...
Hmm, That's a reaction  I normally get when I introduce myself...

Yup! a Bug Collector I am, but not bugs of the six legged kind but of the four wheeled kind. WHAT??!!...what kind of mutated species has wheels instead of legs? Well, they're a species that was first discovered in Wolfsburg, Germany in 1938...

"The Volkswagen species!" 

This blog has been created to show you some of these special bugs that have made their way here to Malaysia.  We have eight VW's in the 'Khoo' family, we've a stock '62 bug, my sister also drives a stock '66 bug and I have a '65  callook bug , a '68 baja bug '61 Samba, a '66 Australian kombi, a '73 Bay window bus and my latest addition is a '89 Syncro Vanagon. 

The eight VW's are all known here as the cars of the 'Airkhool'd VW klub'(latest is watercooled). Here's some old and new pics of our collection during the years...Enjoy!
