that is a awesome looking van.. :slobber:

 

so cute..

 

i'm glad your gonna keep him close to original..

 

oh and btw,as i was digging through a box i hadn't unpacked since moving a yr ago,i came across a signed pic of you and the hero card (with your old blue impreza) and was wondering if you were still racing..i assume you are ?

 

(the hero card and pic are now hanging on the living room wall..)

Jealousy cannot describe my feelings.

I love those old 360 Vans.

So spacious and roomy, esp for such a tiny car!

I hope to find one that isn't such great shape and make it a rear engined AWD

van :D

 

I love the shade of read and the chrome roof rack just sets it off perfectly.

Enjoy your little treasure :)

I just have to wonder, what kind of gas mileage do you get?

 

Stanley certainly does not get what Subaru advertised (66mpg) back in the day :)

 

I haven't driven him enough to figure out exact and precise figures

But the average appears to be 40-45 mpg

 

He's not a freeway van though, so this is all side roads.

 

Still - that average doubles any other Subaru I own :rolleyes:

I have been showing off this thread and your van to all of my friends.

I love that van.

I call next place in line if you ever get rid of him.

And yes, he will stay "Stanley The Wonder Van" if I ever get my paws on him :)

Hey thanks!

 

Stanley and I have bonded pretty hard though

I don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon

 

I'm kind of in love :banana:

 

 

If you're after a van, or truck, or sedan, I can help you find one tho :)

 

Pm me if you're ready to look/hunt/buy.....

Not ready yet, still looking for work.

But I will let you know when I'm ready to.

I want a 360, but not a micro car :)

That's very cool! It's amazing how few vintage Subarus survived... I know you keep saying the paint isn't as nice in person, but I'll bet that doesn't stop you from grinning as you start him up and drive around. :3 Modifying my cars is always a daunting task, as I'm very picky and I have to say I love where you're going with it! Looks great!

Pleased to meet you, Mr Stanley. I really enjoyed your work in KISS (at least up to the baroque years of ALIVE II).

 

Nice pics too. I like the wide angles in the rain forest.

 

To your continued good health, Sir! Cheers! :drunk:

thanks so much!

 

and yes, I've yet to meet anyone who does not grin ear to ear while around Stanley...

 

he has that kind of effect on you :banana:

And that's the exact reason, I miss my old subarus the most, sure... they break and sometimes need a tow home, but they're fun cars! Wish my 89 was THIS cool, but that's why I'm really looking into the 75' Leone...

I bet Stanley's faster downhill (with a tailwind and the impreza's e brake stuck and engine off :lol: )

 

Still loving your little dude :)

When are you going to bring him over the pass?

We wanna see him over here on the east side of the state too! :D

And I know a couple of places that would be stoked to have another tiny Suby be in attendance.

Best car I've ever owned.

love him to death... lol

 

Everywhere we go, people just SMILE :lol:

There is not enough smiling in this world, happy to share him with everyone.

 

We are off to Oregon for a car show June 10-12th

We will be at the Big NW Subaru meet (at DirtFish 7/9/2011)

And may hit a few shows here in the Seattle region/area as well

 

Not thought about going to the East side?

 

If you know of a good event - pm me the details!

 

 

 

another....
