Mike and his Son Tristan R.’s Mk4 Roadster Experience

Posted on September 25, 2024 by Nicole Smith in What's New

Customer Mike R. says, “My son Tristan and I have enjoyed every second we have spent on this car from the build to the drive. It has exceeded every expectation we had set. We are up in Vancouver, BC, Canada and our summer season is coming to an end soon, but we still enjoy some beautiful nights.

The toughest part is putting her away for the winter. I love the Factory Five family of people and all the posts. I thought I’d share a few of our special moments. We will finish the car over this winter, and hit some track days next year. My son and I have done many things together, but this is absolutely at the top of the list.

Wishing everyone the amazing journey we have had with this beautiful car.”
