Fast pictures

After my previous post I realized that I forgot to include pictures of the 'fast', which is (arguably) one of the best features of the GTI.

Volkswagen ads claim "A 'fast' comes standard on every GTI," so when I got the car I was expecting the fast to come inside of it. Needless to say, I was disappointed to learn that I would get it in the mail in "4 to 6 weeks". Luckily I got mine a bit 'fast'er than that. Here is a picture:

Fast

It's made of very shiny plastic, which seems to be different from the more matte-looking material used in the TV ads. Its arms and legs rotate and it has a set of interchangeable tails:

Fast Tails

Overall it's pretty cool. Every car should come with tiny plastic representation of its Freudian id. :)

  1. I want one! Does it speak? If not, buy a voice recorder IC and make it speak. ;)

  2. Unfortunately it doesn’t speak.. If I can find a little voice IC and a speaker, maybe I’ll try that ;)

  3. I have a cool one from Radioshack, but I don’t think they sell them any more. You can record multiple phrases on it and select between them via a parallel interface. I’ll send you the number on the IC when I get home. I’d love to see this!
