Initiated in 1999, the Volkswagen Club of Pakistan (VWCOP) is a group of enthusiasts based out of Islamabad that drive, cherish, restore, recommend, and enjoy the vintage air-cooled cars and vans made by the iconic German auto brand.

VWs were a popular car back in the day, and then, they were rapidly replaced by more modern 4 door automobiles. Many Beetles went the way of the crusher, and it was only in the late 1990s that enthusiasts, recognising the need to preserve this legacy got together and started restoring them. Many cars have been saved, and the 'visibility and acceptance' of this uniquely designed car has increased, in no small part by the club organizing, meets, car shows, drives, picnics, and on occasion, long-distance cross country tours; at times from Karachi to Peshawar, and even as far North as the Pakistan-China border.

We have also teamed up with the Asian Study Group, and organise joint outings with their members. These have included drives to Khanpur lake, the railway museum at Golra, day trips to Murree, as well as drives to Rohtas Fort.

The club is a loosely structured body, with NO annual fees. Anyone with an interest in the brand, or owning a car is deemed a member. As such, we have no means of generating revenue for merchandise.

Core members pool together cash to print calendars and stickers, and occasionally, when finances permit, T shirts, mugs, and caps.

Contact the club via www.facebook.com/VWCOP/

or text messages on the club number 0301 535 7000.

The Club would welcome any ideas on increasing visibility of the brand, and indirectly, (the affirmation of Quality!) via any joint programmes between VWCOP and any groups/embassy. This could be, but not limited to, printing of calendar, diaries, outdoor events, and other joint promotions,  etc.

We welcome your input and ideas.

Online classes for kids in Islamabad, but also on-site classes soon!

I highly recommend Muhammad Bilal to anyone in Rwp/Islamabad looking for a professional, dedicated trainer. I have trained with Bilal for over four years — thanks to him, I got rid of a persistent back and leg pain and improved my fitness more than I ever expected.

Bilal is a national athletics champion with years of expertise in fitness, sports training, and injury rehabilitation. I’ve also seen him coach a 14-year-old student from Japan who won four gold medals at an international school sports championship last month.

Whether you’re looking to get fit, recover from an injury, or simply want to move pain-free and live an active lifestyle, Bilal can help you you reach your goals safely and effectively.

Bilal can be reached at 0347-7006809.

I don't usually write recommendations/reviews for places, but I'm so impressed with this gem of a place in Islamabad, that I have to share it. Hope it will be of benefit to those who prefer a holistic approach to their health.

I stumbled across the Korean Acupuncture Clinic in G-8 markaz while looking for a acupuncture clinics in Islamabad to help me with my back problem, which I have had for a number of years, and which exacerbated recently.

I have been to physios, chiropractors and osteopaths in Canada, Australia, the UK and Ireland.

I prefer non-invasive therapies and a natural approach to health and well being, so I though I would go for a consultation with Dr. Lee ( which is free).

I was very impressed with his level of knowledge and approach, and his lovely, well trained staff and clinic. He is very particular about hygiene, and has a great eye for detail. His knowledge of the human body and what sort of treatment will benefit his clients shows how much experience he has, along with his natural healing ability.

The ladies at the clinic also give excellent foot massages :)

I have now been for a few sessions and come away impressed every time. He was able to diagnose the issue I have, in one session, which took me years to understand after piecing together information from different practioners.

My back has improved ( chronic issue, so takes a few sessions), I am sleeping better, and my digestive issues are resolved. Unfortunately I don't live here, otherwise I would be a regular client for maintenance.

My only motivation for recommending Dr.Lee is that someone with an acute or chronic issue might benefit after all else fails (which is usually when we tend to explore natural therapies!).

Dr Lee can be reached on 0518449832 or via WhatsApp at 03070442121. He can communicate via writing in English, but speaks in Korean and Urdu.

I hope someone can benefit from this information, and is willing to try out these healing techniques that are thousands of years old at the hands of an excellent practioner!

Thanks for reading:)
