What or who got you into Cars?

I grew up around cars and as I got older it just snowballed into a lifelong passion that’s branched into multiple automotive facets. 

Why this Car?

Again going back to my childhood, I fell in love with the MK5 generation of the Golf GTI and as time progressed the love grew more and more until I got lucky enough to get my hands on a Fahrenheit Edition GTI. 

Why did you build this Car?

I built this car because of its sentimental value and high performance potential, namely its weight and response to tuning.

What does it feel like owning and driving this car? 

It’s definitely a blast to drive, especially in a spirited setting and I encourage everyone to drive any generation of GTI. Additionally, it being a limited production GTI makes it that much better, knowing you’re behind the wheel of a numbered chassis car. 

What do you think makes it unique?

I think it being #3 out of 1200 Fahrenheit Editions produced makes it unique, as well as its unique Magma Orange paint, stiffer suspension and different interior than a regular GTI.
