A Bite of History - Marcos
By Mike Thies
The Marcos was one of those wonderfully unconventional British sports car companies that could only have come from the postwar racing world. The company was founded in 1959 by Jem Marsh and aerodynamicist Frank Costin, with the name Marcos coming from Marsh and Costin.

A Judge’s View from Pinehurst: Sandhills Motoring Expo 2026 by Mike Thies

It's great to have you on board! I am looking forward to great photos (and maybe videos) of your favorite VWs, as well as others of different "wheels" and events you enjoy. It is good to write about your "wheels" adventures on the blog, as we all enjoy stories from our members. Also, please tell me more (or write a blog!) about SoutheastVW. Is it a club or a group?
One of the real strengths of our website is the feature that any member can add events whenever they find one that we have overlooked! You do not have to "submit" through emails or the postal service, etc.
Please invite your family and friends as this helps the site grow and improves your social network communications. Add me as a site Friend, too, and I will keep you up to date on announcements and special events.
Sincerely,
Mike Thies
PS I love VWs. It used to be PunchBUG when I was a kid.
