    Is that a thing?

    My wife loved her Suzuki Samuri, it was very stable as long as you didn't make any sudden moves.

    Almost bought a new thing when I came back to the States in '73. Ended up with a Super Beetle instead.

    It's the husk of a Thing & a couple of Geo Tracker's aka Suzuki Sidekick's.

    I wonder if the Thing running gear lived in this pile of tubes. Although the flat 4 is missing.

    Vespa with a sidecar, now that's cool. Should be pulled by a yellow Abarth.

    Was the Gremlin a knock off design of the lotus Elite?

    Of course the Gremlin lines are quite harsh in comparison.

    Both designers seemed to not get enough sleep.

    The Gremlin came first (and rumor has it that it was first sketched out on the back of an airplane barf bag)..

    I also like the design of that, as well as the Pinto and Vega.. the execution and underneath parts, not so much.

    I've always been a fan of the Cosworth Vega. One Vega for the price of two!
