Jared’s VW Golf is the quickest ‘Golf R’ in the world. Amazingly the engine still remains internally stock. A choice selection of well engineered bolt on parts ensure the car is extremely reliable. This time out Jared did no less than 15 passes and drove the car over 200kms each way to and from the track.
