    Factory Five Featured on TV... in France!



    Host of the French TV show "Turbo" Cyril Drevet visited Factory Five a while ago, and we were featured on the show... in France. So even if you don't speak French, this is a fun watch. Check out what happens at 2:08 into the video.

    Cool video. Most of it appears to be taken in the Anniversary Roadster prototype, which was originally built with a Gen 1 Coyote with a Boss intake and Toyo R888's. I assume both are still the same. Plenty of power and grip.

    Dave,
    Very cool. From someone who as been traveling and exporting all over the world, it's always good to see companies getting international exposure. Congrats!

    HAHA. Great video Dave. You must have had a blast. I can imagine there were a few "calice" and "tabernacle" that had to be edited from the video.

    Very cool! The only thing in English while I was over there was a music video station that played lots of Drake and Arianna Grande. I wish this was available.
