#N:inmet:2700007:000:637 inmet!alpert Jul 28 15:51:00 1983 ***************CALL FOR ALL SUBARU 360 OWNERS TO UNITE!*************** Are there any other Subaru 360 owners out there? Most of the folks out there seem to be driving dreadnoughts with at least two more cylinders than are *really* necessary. If everyone drove a Subaru 360: o There would be no need for 55 MPH speed limit signs o The Arabs could go back to selling filler for sandboxes o There would be twice as many parking spaces Let the frustrated speed-racer types have their namby-pamby Corvettes and Z-cars, *we* know the virtues of owning a REAL piece of automotive machinery! Let's hear it for Our Favorite Vehicle!!

Subaru 360 Owners eat your hearts out! Well I may not own a Subaru 360 but I think its kind of neat that the car designers are starting to realize that the car of the future was designed by BMW in 1956. "What?" you say "1956, is he crazy?". Ha, I am a proud owner of a 1962, BMW 300, Isetta Custom. "Whats that?" you say. Well, I go cruising in my single front doored mean machine, all 13hp roaring under the back hatch, and all the people stop and stare at this excellent car of the future. Of course its not what is used to be 105,000 km on one piston is a lot of work, and the 6 l/100km at 75 kph tops, (50 mpg and 45mph) is not what it used to get, but it still is lots of fun.
