Nice Volvo!
For the red car rig you need:
1/ Manfrotto 190 tripod or any tripod with a 16mm or 5/8th bottom leg diameter. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/831461-REG/Manfrotto_MT190A3P_190_More_3_Section_Aluminum.html
2/ 3x Manfrotto Gaga Gobo, or similar. These are a 16mm or 5/8th clamp and fit the bottom leg of the Manfrotto 190. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/153403-REG/Avenger_D250_Gag_Gobo.html . The tripod legs fit into the Gag Gobo. I wouldn't recommend this setup for driving at speed (but you could drive slowly, in a safe environment and possibly with someone supporting the end of the tripod, and then speed up the video)!
3/ 3x vacuum cups, take your pick, there are plenty to choose from. The 'Woods Powrgrip' are the most practical, no idea where you can get them locally.
4/ 3x 16mm threaded shafts to fit vacuum cup.
This image uses the same components except the tripod is a custom plate instead of the Manfrotto 190.

If you look at the filmtools site you will probably find everything you need:

You can make your own light weight 16mm clamps, which I've done:

The second setup, on the blue car, is a different tripod, different leg diameter, different clamps. No point detailing it as the first setup is essentially the same but lighter and easier to use.
