While most of us reading these blogs are into big horsepower, there's a small but very devoted group who get their jollies from little cars--as in really little cars. Yep, there's a micro car fetish out there, and there's nothing perverse or weird (okay, maybe a bit weird) about it.
MPH Specialties of Portland Oregon is one such shop. Mark Hatten, the owner, has one neat Subie 360 that's sporting a street rod flame paint job. In addition to old Subies, Hatten works on Messerschmitt KR 200s, Honda 600s, Ramblers, and other rare small cars.
Hard to believe that this tiny 360cc Subie eventually evolved into the barnstorming STI...

Did someone step on a Beetle?

I like the looks of this thing - prominent fenders, round headlamps, and generous greenhouse. I mean, I'd prefer a '49 Mercury Lead Sled to this hot rod, but this gets some interest.
