OT, Need a good VW BUG forum!

I know this is off topic, but does ANYONE know a VW BUG tech forum nearly as good as this one?

I can't believe I can't find one

. . . or, now that Porsche is part of the VW corporation . . . Sorry guys, my perverse method of catharsis (I know, "bless you", old joke).

I'm a fairly big VW Vortex fan for the new beetle. I have one as my daily driver... I have yet to find a forum as good as this one, but Vortex is not bad.

Is your Bug air cooled or water cooled?

the samba forums would be great, but for the a-hole attitude of many of the posters. so much for the old vw peace and love thing.

I sold my last Beetle two years ago; a stock '63 with brick red interior and gray paint that was original but patina. Loved that car.

I'll never go back because of the attitude of the dudes on TheSamba. There are some good guys there, but it's overrun with young AZZHATS that want to chop up cars and act tough. The mods on the TheSamba are not what they are here.

Rant over.
Flame suit on.

The vortex is good. The guys on the corrado side tend to get on my nerves however
