Karmann Komment Volume 42 | Issue 2 THE SAMBA
For the last 27 years "The Samba" for many vintage Volkswagen fans has become as much a part of the daily routine as Breakfast, Dinner, and Tea. It was started in September 1998 and named after Everett & Jennifer Barnes' dog, Samba.
Buy, Sell, Ask/Tell, that just about covers it, a simple concept, its success illustrated by the staggering statistics; 15 million page views a month, 50 thousand visitors a day, 115,000 active classified ads, 1.6 million Gallery pictures, and all at no cost to you!
The Forum content is all encompassing, whatever it is, your air-cooled VW is there.
The Karmann Ghia Forum has been there from the start, and I've been active on it from the time I started looking for one in 2005.
The Samba is old but it's now more relevant in the hobby than all the Social Media platforms; it's moderated and peopled by an international group of Karmann Ghia friends.
If you have a question, join us; if you have an answer, join us.
This might sound like an advert but again, I make nothing from this except that you might like to join us, to share your expertise if you have any, or learn as I did about these cars we all love.
