Todd has been a Factory Five cult member probably ever since there was a Factory Five and his excitement hasn’t wavered a bit since his first interactions with us. He first visited us in early 1997 to pick up his first project. That was “back when Dave and Mark still answered the phone”, he told us recently. |

His first adventure into the world of Factory Five Racing came with FFR 1184 in 1997. That pre-Mark 1 was all he really needed in life, it seemed, until he had a run-in with David Smith. He sold his pride and joy immediately and started making plans for his next Factory Five. Now he’s finishing up his fourth Factory Five, and loving every minute of it. |

Like most of our customers, he “has as much fun building the car as driving it”. But Todd doesn’t dwell on the project – his first car was built in just 10 months, and then driven for nearly seven years afterwards, driving the snot out of it and racking up tons of mileage in the process. “I made enough money on it (the last FFR) to build my Mk3 (F5R 1004848RD). In between, I’ve turned a lot of people on to FFR and even helped out building two MK 2’s which made my latest build a breeze”. |

“I loved my first one but man there is no comparison to this one!”
“The four wheel power disc brakes and power steering along with the smooth power of the four cam engine is amazing. My wife wouldn’t drive the first one because of the non power brakes and steering and of course the intimidating sound of the Vortech supercharger always scared her, but she loves driving this one, it drives like a production car.” |
