A Sambar. My mate showed me one ages ago. He's a dub nut. IIRC my first response was also, WTF

I see them all the time. A lot of the wind-surfers and kite-surfers have them down at Sandbanks. Funny little things. Get a lot of the real ones down there too.

They are made by Subaru, but are done up as, and sold as, a mini 'VW' camper. Don't ask me why, because i do not know.

660cc, Automatic All Wheel Drive and Supercharged.

Ah, the Casablanca again. It is so horrible it is almost cool. Drive it down the high street and you would certainly turn heads - and stomachs.

It had to be a Subaru - the high quality interior plastics are a dead giveaway.
