    The Italian Job

    Customer Agostino Barazza Builds a Beautiful Red Mk2 in Italy



    Factory Five customer Agostino Barazza sent us this nice picture of his red Mk2 Roadster parked along Como Lake in Italy. The car started out in Washington state and Agostino completed the build in Italy!

    Thanks for the cool photo and I'm sure there are plenty of FFR customers, who like me, would love to drop the hammer on that car on the mountain roads in northern Italy.

    What an absolutely classy looking Roadster! Very Nice! Perfect Picture of a beautiful car.

    My wife and I spent our honeymoon at Lake Como (Tremezzo) accross the lake from Bellagio. We spent a great deal of time in many of the villages around the lake. Lots of great memories are floating around in my head. It's absolutely one of my favorite places on earth!

    Thanks for the great picture!

    Proud as heck for sure. FFR's are great Ambassadors for us Americans. Stig, I hear you are crashing at Cheney-Manor for the weekend. Probably wont be as fun as Italy with your wife... Tell Cheney to drag his hot rod down even if his Torque convertor is tossing a wobbly! See you Saturday morning man!

    Yes, the Cheneys have graciously invited me to come up and hang out and ride down to Wareham for the open house. I'm looking forward to it. Hope to get a peek at the KONI GTM as well. It sound's like the Hot Rod is out of commission for a bit though. "Tossing a Wobbly"! That's a new one, but fairly accurate according to Gary. Apparently it's shaking the car around pretty well. But I have no doubt that he'll have it back in perfect working order in no time.

    I'm just glad to be able to come up and meet more FFR owners, check out their cars, and hear their stories. Although I wish I were coming up with the GTM. Maybe next time.
