Links to VW Club Sites
Self explanatory really.

Buggy Club in Rockhampton QLD 

Webpage and club growing strongly, good pictures and info on some different types of buggies.
Manx Dune Buggy Club Australia New Australian leg of the famous Manx Club in the US. A must join club for any Meyers Manx or buggy owners. Baja's are even allowed in the Australian club.
Volkswagen Club of Western Australia The name says it all really. 
This site has just started development, so hopefully there will be lots of good stuff to check out in the near future. Keep an eye on this one.
This site is pretty cool. Lots of stories about Klub VW offroad trips. Good page containing members cars.
Most people in the club are pretty cool. Their site is the excellent and worth checking out.
If you want links, this site is for you. It is the best VW Club site in Australia, with heaps of links. It made me not want to bother doing a links page of my own, since theirs was so good.
Links to Cool VW Sites
These are sites that you look at and say to yourself, that car is so cool.

NEW!!!. These guys are a little nutty. They use chain drives on their buggies, allowing the whole engine gearbox to be mounted real far forward. They also use steel spikes in their tires. crazy people.
Wayne Penrose VW! This car is so cool. Wayne's type IV powered beetle started my love of the type IV engine. He does burnouts in 4th at 7,500rpm.
Links to vw shop / show sites
Find info on parts, prices, or upcoming shows.

www.philsbugshack.com A US shop, that has helped me with my V6 conversion even though I'm all the way in Australia. Check out Phil's site, Heaps of cool stuff for VW's and especially buggies. 
Mark Pell Auto Repairs. This site sells parts, and is also the home of the famous nambucca heads / valla park volkswagen spectacular. This is my favorite vw show, held every 2 years. You have to go just to see high horsepower vw's racing around a go-cart track.
BeetleRacing.com. PROMOTING VW RACING AUSTRALIA-WIDE. I think this site is eventually going to sell stuff, but it's only in it's early stages of development at the moment. Hopefully it'll have info on australian vw race cars.

www.dunebuggy.co.uk A great Source of  Dune Buggy books and info
Links to baja bugs and buggie Sites
There are so many of them out there, so I'll put links to the sites that I usually visit.

Dune-Buggie.com. This site is the grandfather of all dune buggie sites. Great site, must see for any dune buggy / baja fan
Baja Buses. This is the first baja bus site. There are heaps of Baja buses in Queensland, they are just so cool. I think I'll have to build one, one day (after I build my supasports buggy perhaps). Worth checking out!!!
Bajas in Action / Desert Stomper.. This site is another good baja page. The guy is really friendly. His car is so cool, and so modified. I wish we could legally do those mods in Australia.
The baja bug page.. This site is another good baja page. Plenty of pictures to look at.
http://www.bajabugsrule.8m.com/ Baja Bugs Rule. A Baja fans site. Has a few good pics and a link to a yahoo baja club.
http://offroadvws.com/ Offroadvws! An assortment of offroad vw pictures and articles.
Peter Wood's Subaru Engined Buggy Build   Pete's been at it for a while now, and it's starting to look like a car. Hopefully it won't be long before it's finished.
Links to Technical Based Sites
These are recommended sites for VW based technical articles

Eric's page about VW transmissions. Good stuff about transmissions, type 1 and 2 boxes. It needs more pictures, which are supposed to be coming soon...



Type 4: Secrets Revealed. This is another good site for type 4 information (well it will be if it's ever finished). This site deals with the engine only.
Links to Just Plain Cool Sites
These are wierd, cool, have nothing to do with vw's, but are just cool.

Outlaw Lawn Dragsters. These crazy guys put 750cc motorcycle engines in ride on mowers, and then race each other. I gotta make me one of those, I wonder if a 280HP Mr Turbo ZZR110 engine would fit in the John Deere.



Big Cart. This is a very large trolley, with a blown 454 engine. Why? Why not.



Turbocharged bar stool. Need I say more.
