Back Home from London…Ohio

Cars Arrive Back Home in Wareham from London C-Car Show

It’s a shame to put the Coupe back in the showroom. After the London C-car show, I want to point it towards California.

In shipping today, Nate Johnson and Jason Lavigne unpacked out brand new Billet specialty rims.

That decision became Blue Hills Customs. This MK5 Roadster is more than a project—it’s the first expression of a vision to create ultra-premium, one-off roadsters that blend classic design with modern performance and reliability. Factory Five Racing provided the perfect canvas. The MK5 isn’t just a kit—it’s a foundation that allows builders to bring something truly… Read More »
