A big thank you to everyone who came past the Fahrvergnugen stand at the recent Volkswagen Club of South Africa Night Dyno to get their Highway Collective shirts!  We sold a number of shirts on the day/night, and would have sold a few more had we had more sizes, but the interest in Highway Collective shirts and Fahrvergnugen in general was great!  We still have a lot of stock, mainly in larger sizes so don't hesitate to contact us as soon as possible, before we run out of our current stock...

We still have the following Highway Collective shirts in stock:

In OEM+ We Trust (Black/Blue) - S, M, L, XL:

Highway Collective Announcement - Do not be alarmed!

Thanks to Jon at The Highway Collective for the hilarious announcement regarding Fahrvergnugen taking over The Highway Collective brand in South Africa, as well as for the rather complimentary picture of myself and Stuart on a particularly festive and loud evening at The Jolly Roger a few months back...

Do not be alarmed!

Both Stuart and myself are passionate about the Volkswagen scene in South Africa, and have always loved The Highway Collective's idea's and approach to the Volkswagen scene, so it was natural for us to approach them to take over the brand in South Africa when both Jon and Brad would be in the UK.  We also felt that we couldn't let a proudly South Africa brand like The Highway Collective disappear when it has had such an impact and done so much good for the local Volkswagen scene...

And I have no doubt that we will do Jon, Brad and The Highway Collective brand proud back home in South Africa...

Your Hosts:
Nic and Stu

Welcome...

Welcome to the temporary home of Fahrvergnugen...

Myself (Nic) and Stuart have long discussed doing something like this, and are finally getting round to it after months and months of threatening to do so.  But I bet you are still wondering what exactly this is...

Well, in short, this is Fahrvergnugen, German for "driving enjoyment" (from fahren, "to drive," and Vergnügen, "enjoyment"), and was the advertising slogan for a VW advertising campaign in the early 1990's:

WikiPedia - Fahrvergnugen

Both Stuart and I are passionate, some would say bordering on ludicrously so, about Volkswagens having met a few years back at a Volkswagen Club of South Africa event and have become good friends.  We both got more and more involved with the Volkswagen Club of South Africa , joining the committee, organising and running events, working on our cars, helping work on each others and sharing our passion for all things Volkswagen...

But something that we always felt, was a little lacking in South Africa, was merchandise like t-shirts, hoodies, stickers, etc. and besides the likes of The Highway Collective, no-one was really doing anything like we saw in Europe and the USA.  And so the idea of Fahrvergnugen was born, as somewhere for local Volkswagen enthusiasts to get their merchandise fix...

And the timing could not have been better, as the founder of The Highway Collective has moved to the UK, and his good friend and co-founder, Brad, is following shortly.  So Fahrvegnugen is taking over The Highway Collective brand in South Africa and has exclusive rights to distribute merchandise.  For more information on The Highway Collective:
