If you want to join or see this club, just walk around to The Fort Rotterdam Parking Area each Sunday afternoon (about 5 – 8 PM). You can see members gathering, the atmosphere is so cool, which indicated by the hospitality among these members and no one feel exiled in this gathering. This fort was built by the Netherland’s Colonial in order to defend Makassar their colony from it’s aggressor at that time. MVWC choosed this place because it’s history. The classic Volkswagen means history also that fort means history…. The history which can never die…OLD VOLKSWAGEN NEVER DIE…
