    Ooooops. Me boo-boo. (RWD)

    Hey, that looks like a car I'd like - interesting "torque tube" arrangement. Is that an IRS rear end?

      No its a tube rear axle. The De Dion rear end is essentially an M47 gearbox lying on its side with a diff grafted directly onto it. They're a nice little car. I must get mine out.

        I remember Pontiac did that with the Tempest back in the early/mid 60's.

        Is it hard to find parts on this side of the pond to keep that baby rolling? (I assume you're in the U.S.)

          No I'm in England. I'm not sure whether there are any 360's in the US. As far as I know none were ever officially imported. It's a shame really, they'e an underrated car, and stupid cheap now.
