Who is Fast Freddie and why is he causing such a commotion at Volkswagen? Fast Freddie is actually Volkswagen salesperson and GTI enthusiast, Ken Nix. Nix’s new Website, myfastgti.com caused quite a stir lately at Volkswagen.

According to Volkswagen’s press conference, Nix debuted a Website about the GTI and the little creature called a “Fast” just 3 days after their site. Volkswagen said this was a little embarrassing because it took them weeks to design and build a site and along comes an enthusiast and he does it in just 3 days. This doesn’t seem to surprise Volkswagen, as VW enthusiasts are known to be fanatical about their vehicles and their VW clubs.

So, what is a “Fast”? Well according to Volkswagen it is a little creature that lives in every one of us, thirsting for speed. Speed to a Fast is as water is to a fish. He has to have it. Each person who purchases a new 2006 GTI will receive a “Fast” to live in his or her GTI.

It seems the Fast also lives on eBay with the little GTI icon easily maintaining bids over the $300.00 mark. The GTI allows its owners to “make friends with their fast”. So how does the fast tie into Nix’s Website?

My Fast GTI is actually an online community for MKV GTI enthusiasts, but what is so unique, is that Nix wants to know what makes your fast tick. What does your fast drink? What does it crave? How does it get you into trouble? Nix hopes to use this information to tell Volkswagen exactly what the GTI enthusiasts crave.

You can also find Exclusive GTI video, images, a place to show off your GTI on the net and of course the latest Volkswagen GTI commercials at myfastgti.com. Have you seen them? Now, I wouldn’t advise telling your girlfriend to stop yapping so you can hear the GTI’s engine, but the commercials have sent a wave of enthusiasm across the country selling GTI’s as fast as, well, little black Fast icons on eBay.
