	What is the Subaru 360 Drivers Club? Established in 1979, we are an international all-volunteer club of hobbyists who have joined together with a simple mission: "to keep our favorite vehicles on the road and running on both cylinders." The club has been functioning since 1980 and has grown considerably in size since then. With the addition of our new website, we continue to grow and gain worldwide recognition. We publish a quarterly newsletter that contains tips, technical knowledge, parts availability, and general news about our favorite vehicles. These newsletters and tips are gathered and stored in our ever-growing Book of Reprints, 360 Club lingo for "book of 360 knowledge!" Club History The founder and current organizer of the Subaru 360 Drivers Club is Ed Parsil. Ed first purchased a Subaru 360 van in 1975 when gas prices were going up, as he thought it would be a practical vehicle. He quickly ran into the same problems that other 360 owners already knew of, namely, the lack of availability of parts. This prompted Ed to look for and try to contact other 360 owners in order to form a 360 network. Ed found an ad in Hemmings Motor News, and through this ad was able to reach other 360 owners. By 1979 he had contacted over twenty-five 360 owners across the US, and the club was formed. With member Ray Hilofsky, he started a four-page newsletter. The original club dues were $2 - one for each cylinder! The club was chartered as, and remains today, an all-volunteer association of past, present, and prospective Subaru 360 owners. Its mission is simply "to keep our favorite vehicles on the road and running on both cylinders." The Club was officially organized in 1980 with 87 charter members in 31 states, for a total of 140 360s. The first newsletter came out in November of 1979. As of December 2005, we now have 400 member families with about 850 Subaru 360s! Our members hail from around the globe, including the US and Japan, where the 360 is gaining an almost cult-like following. Who can Join? Simply put, any past, present, or prospective owner of any Subaru 360 vehicle or vehicles. Club dues of $6.00 USD are to be paid annually, and members are to act in concurrence with club purpose and principles. *What is the Book of Reprints?* This is a must-have for any 360 owner!
