Customer Mike W. in Snap-On Tools 2015 Calendar

Posted on January 16, 2015 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

Our good friend Ray McEdward forwarded us the Snap-On 2015 calendar which highlights Factory Five customer Mike Wilkinson’s green Factory Five Mk3 Roadster. Congratulations to Mike on his inclusion among some very serious cars!

Ray was also kind enough to mark his birthday in the calendar!

Mike’s Mk3 is featured in the month of November.

Every year I look forward to getting a Christmas card from Ray, and this year’s card was awesome! It features a 1964 289 Roadster, CSX #2430. The photography was done by David Bull Publishing.

Ray also sent along some money donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in honor of my daughter Jennifer and his friend Michael Alfano from Technology Racing Services also wrote a very generous check that we forwarded to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation on behalf of Team Jenny.

Thanks Ray and Jodi McEdward! Thanks Mike Alfano! And Congratulations to Mike Wilkinson on being featured in Snap-On’s 2015 calendar!
