1970 Subaru 360. The Subaru 360 was Subaru's first car, produced in Japan from 1958 to 1970, and imported into the US by Malcolm Bricklen, of Yugo fame, from 1968 to 1970. It has a 25 horsepower, two-stroke, 356cc two cylinder powerplant that propels it to anywhere between 50mph and 70mph depending on a variety of factors.
1: Flat, or downhill.
2: Number of passengers.
3: Size of your dinner.
Despite its size and weight, which is 900 pounds, it can seat four in relative comfort.
1984 Volkswagen Vanagon with Subaru Legacy 2.2 conversion. It adds about 40-50 horsepower over the stock Volkswagen 1.9 unit, and can be much more reliable as well. I also lowered it 3'' on CIP springs, and the van rides on Mercedes 16'' AMG rims with Falken performance tires. It is good for about 100 mph with the stock Vanagon transmission (could go faster with a pricey transmission swap), which is fast for a vehicle with the aerodynamics of a shed.

This marks my first post here, but I have been into Top Gear since the new series (From 2002 to present) started. I think seeing that the Top Gear Production Team recognizes these formus sparked my interest to join.
Best Regards.
