Factory Five Calendar Stars!

The year starts out on the right foot with Factory Fives taking prominent roles in 2014 calendars!

Customer Mike W.’s AWESOME Mk3 Roadster is profiled alonside some serious hardware in PPG’s 2014 Platinum Calendar.  Mike’s car is painted Indy Green (PPG code 45885) and Pearl Black (PPG code 9601).  These PPG calendars are only sent to their Platinum distributors and are not available to the general public.

Also, customer Lindsay Randell’s car is featured in the Canadian PPG Platinum Edition Calendar.

Factory Five’s all-new 818R streaks across the 2014 Grassroots Motorsports Calendar for the month of January.   The Factory Five 818 earned Grassroots Motorsports’ “Editors’ Choice” Award and the crew from the magazine have built their own 818.  You can read about their build in the pages of the magazine.  In the photo below, engineering intern Frank Kardok got a chance to pilot the R-version at Virginia International Raceway and is in the photo.

If you would like a copy of the GRM 2014 calendar, we have a small supply.  You can call us and ask for a free copy while supplies last at 508-291-3443.
