Garbiarnia – the Polish VW Beetle club archive
Garbiarnia (from Garbus, the Polish nickname for the Beetle) is a club of classic Volkswagen enthusiasts founded in Warsaw in 2003. For over twenty years its forum was one of the main places in Poland to ask about air-cooled VWs, swap parts, document restorations and organise rallies.
This site is the read-only archive of those years:
- Forum – 24 717 topics and 271 104 posts (2003–2026)
- Articles – 264 technical texts, event reports and club history (2005–2021)
- Gallery – 12 317 photos from rallies, shows and club meetings (2002–2011)
- Veterans – the members who were with us from the very beginning
A new forum is being prepared – the link will appear here.
