Wasserwerks: How long have you been involved in the VW/Audi hobby?

Vinny Errico: Umm…about 3 years

WW: What first got your interest in these types of cars?

VE: Well…I got into VW when one day I got out of work to get into my Honda Civic in the parking lot and it was gone never to be seen again that’s when I decided to go a different route and get into the euro scene.

WW: What cars do you presently own?

VE: I own a Black 2001 GTI VR6 that happens to have a stage 3 VF kit
 

WW: What cars do you wish you owned?

VE: I have always been into Ferrari’s so a f430 would be my choice 
 

WW: What cars do you wish you still owned?

VE: I loved the civic that I had but I wouldn’t really want it back and that’s really the only other car that I have had.
 

WW: What do you like to do with your car(s) (show/race/etc.)?

VE: I have been trying to get it into shows and magazines but it seems so hard and there are so many other really nice cars out there.
 

WW: What are your future plans for your car(s)?

VE: I think that for this year I am done but for next year lets see…..brake kit, oil cooler, side skirts, and I am sure ill find something by then.

WW: What other hobbies do you have?

VE: My main hobby is my car I enjoy driving it even if I don’t have a place to drive to.  I am always interested in investing so I try to read up on the newest place to invest your money.

WW: What is your best personal VW/Audi Story?

VE: Well its not the best because it’s a horrible story but here it is…. I just got the car and only had it for a month.  I had a work day planned for later in the day so I decided to wash my car and clean it from bumper to bumper.  It was looking really good shining in that sun it was good and ready to go. I got ready for work and off I was. I got out of my neighborhood and WHAM!!……some lady driving a beat up 80’s corolla wasn’t looking and t-boned my rear end.  She hit my car so hard that my axle was bent so bad that I had to drive 2 miles an hour home.  Everything is back to normal but that was a sad day for me.
