Default Pig Decals

Ok I think I've missed something but whats with the Pig Decals I see on a load of Imprezas etc?

Personally I think they're cool and wouldn't mind a pair but where did the idea come from?

Cheers,

Rich

"The pig is a mascot for the Japanese manga (comic) magazine Young Magazine. It's always somewhere on the cover... The pig appears on Petter Solberg's rally car. For the past two years the pig has only been on the driver's side mirror. Back in 2002 it showed up on the co-driver's side as well, but that seems to have been dropped now. It ONLY appears on Petter's car -- Mikko's car doesn't have it, and Tommi's (when he was with Subaru) did not either. Toshihiro Arai (in the Production championship) has the pig on both of his side mirrors, as well as a little piggie on his driving suit. I suspect that it's a personal sponsor, rather than sponsoring the entire Subaru World Rally Team or STi."

Thank you sir, most kind

I must start paying more attention to the rally cars, not really into the rally replica look so never noticed it before. These look cool though.

Now, who would I need to contact regarding a pair? I recently saw an unrelated thread with the members name on but unfortunately I didn't record the thread title.
