How about a special edition cememorating (sp?) Richard Burns? It could be an STI in limited numbers, say 320, and it could be a UK320, maybe with 320hp too?
Just a thought...

I know this thread is nearly a year old, first time i've seen it, but if i remember rightly Burns had signed to return to Subaru when his deal with Pug ended, but he had the incident where he blacked out and didn't take his place in the team the following year cause of his condition.

Richard Burns and The Richard Burns Foundation
Also the Stickers sold by RB5 club ended making about £3K and the Richard Burns Lands end to John-0-Groats run raised about £16K. So I do believe we have done our little bit.
I was lucky enough to meet Richards Dad, Alex and what a nice chap

TBH, (and I really can't believe I'm saying this!), but alot of what Pete said is right.
Well, the core message is - but as always, delivered with as much subtlety and tact as we can expect!!
However, the sentiment of what the poster is suggestion is kind. I would possibly suggest though that Subaru/Prodrive have drawn a line under this now, and have moved on. After all, most motorsport members tend not to dwell on the macabre, as it can affect their performance....
If anything else should be done, perhaps it should moreso be a WRC sticker rather than a team one, after all, as correctly stated, Burnsey wasn't even a Subaru driver when he died........
IMHO, the best thing anybody who wants to commemorate him can do, is go and buy is Richard Burns Rally - it's amazing!!! Accurate andbl00dy difficult!!
All IMHO, of course

"I'm in YPRES, Belgium tomorrow, to commemorate those who died fighting for our freedom."
You really couldn't make this b*ll**** up could you? The day after a post about charity and this dipstick claims he's off to Ypres in Belgium.
Fortunately Snet's biggest tw*t seems to have finally disappeared after making a complete **** of himself on several threads!
BTW, tomorrow I'm taking disabled orphans to the seaside for a day out!

You can always do what a lot of us did buy the RB sticker for your car and the money you pay for them goes to the RB cancer fund........Just a thought.

We are still doing the stickers and have raised at least a further £1000.
