February 20th, 2010 Congrats! ..to our newest Gear 6 Performance owner, Gary who resides in Utah.. and has already had some good seat time in his new MKIII SPO 2972. This was a special order roller direct from the factory which meant some serious anxious waiting was in store while it crossed the ocean on its way to our shop. It was a pleasure to work with Gary and we look forward to hearing about all his car experiences.

Below are images prior to loading and transporting to Utah.. note those awesome 17" Kumho tires (dealer license for test driving). We understand during a gas station stop the new owner was approached by a professional photographer who took a 100 plus photos of his car! Can you say WhoooHooo!

We're keeping our fingers crossed you get an early spring.. and yes, delivering the car with snow on the ground was challenging & fun. LOL!

Congrats to our newest MKIII owner, Alan!

December 17th, 2009 - Images from our latest trip to Irvine, picking up a MKIII roller, for one of our customers (Alan), that had just arrived from the factory.. Sunset Red/Titanium. Due to bad weather conditions, including dense fog, our typical 15-16 hr trip took us 19 hrs and right in time for LA 5:00 o'clock traffic too, fun. So the pics are poor due to the dark conditions there when loading it in our trailer.

Our return trip was also hampered by dense fog in the mountain passes particularly.. we made it back safely. Once the roller was back in the shop, we did all the prep work (remove from skids, mount tires & wheels, balance tires, install sway bars, install mirrors, etc) before loading it up once again, for a short transport to Oregon, where the new owner was anxiously waiting for his Christmas present. Alan will be doing the buildout himself.. we can't wait to see the finished product. Thanks Alan & best of luck with your project!
