A Subaru for BBC Top Gear Magazine |
| | The well known BBC car lover's magazine Top Gear is an old fan of the Ga coffins. In
March 2003 they featured the Mercedes coffin, now the coffin of choice for chief's. Read this piece. Following that
feature they decided to commission their very own half sized Subaru. As with the Ferrari for Moscow, there are no
Subaru Impreza's in Ghana but Top Gear sent over some magazines. Daniel and Samuel replicated it perfectly - see the results below. |
