Now that fall is here, we’re reflecting many of the highlights of this past summer. One of the good ones was meeting my Dad’s friend Sten Johnson at our family summer home in Michigan. Sten is a regular at Factory Five events from Texas to London, Ohio (he lives in Illinois!). Recently he was spotted driving his Mk3 Roadster on US31 South, along the coast of Lake Michigan. He was on a mission to deliver “Spotted Cow” beer.

Sten delivered the beer and soon found himself picking blueberries with our family. Known for his great spirit, Sten earned respect for eating as many blueberries as he picked.

With over 100,000 miles on it, Sten’s Roadster is no trailer queen, but a true driver’s car! Cheers to Sten for embodying the Factory Five spirit and making the most of every mile. And my Dad appreciated the beer. Stay safe driving into this fall season!
