Lets hope so!!!!!!:D

talizman 09 November 2003 05:13 PM

Hopefully!

Unfortunately Sony own the rights to PS1 and PS2 though. :(

Plus, you wouldn't really want it called either of these anyway, since folk will ALWAYS think you are referring to a games console! :D

SiDHEaD 09 November 2003 05:20 PM

PS7 - to denote the 7 GB wins for Subaru.

What would be the point, they have no main dealers left to sell them!!!!

Well, my nearest is now about 60 miles away!!

alcazar 09 November 2003 06:53 PM

Agree with RON:(:

Here's hoping for a

STi WRC Petter Edition, based on the 'C' Spec STi with all the trimmings, DCCD, Twin Scroll Turbo etc...

Are you listening MR Woods of Prodrive, get on the phone to Japan on monday morning and get 500 of them on order.

Oh and stick me down for one :)

scooby-si 09 November 2003 07:28 PM

i thought they already had 750 of them on order????

chiark 09 November 2003 07:52 PM

We could start on how trademarks only apply to specific industries, but after the prodrive stickers thread, I ain't going there :D

I hope they do a special edition :D

hummelsubaru 09 November 2003 08:45 PM

It could be Series Peter just like Series Colin McRea. I hope so...

Whats Latin for Seven ???? i can feel a Terzo replacement coming on!!!

T5NYW 09 November 2003 11:37 PM

Philg,

I really hope so ;) Perhaps the name cars are a close secret :D and awaiting the events of today to unfold :D:D maybe some small snippets may now trickle out to put bait on the hook :cool:


Scooby-si,

Perhaps 2 Special Ed. were to be brought out :rolleyes: blue Margam7 & grey RB2 but maybe PS7 & CM7 ;) I'm not sure but those aren't type "C's" but "Type UK's" with DCCD, sure hope I'm wrong though ;)

I think Sony have something to say about Subaru calling a car the PS7. I would have imagined that the 'PS(number)' form constitutes a registered tradement.

talizman 10 November 2003 09:38 AM

I agree with Fatman.

same as Peugeot own the rights to all 3 figure number configurations with zero in the middle. 106, 206, 307 etc

D6ale 10 November 2003 09:56 AM

7 is Petters number too....

but he's actually now number 1 next year!

Fizz 10 November 2003 10:05 AM

I have heard the next prodrive special car will have a 2.5 turbo if they ever get it homologated... until then... wait and see...

Fizz 10 November 2003 10:06 AM

Also it will be a subaru model not a prodrive special ...

messiah 10 November 2003 11:12 AM

As long as it doesnt have that stupid looking lego rear wing...

Although I hope one will have a full WRC bodykit in tarmac rally trim - a real ground hugger!

Jen 10 November 2003 11:40 AM

...I'd love one of those :cool::D

pbee 10 November 2003 11:40 AM

why would prodrive homologate a 2.5l car when wrc is limited to 2.0, and there wouldnt be that many privateers running in a2 would pay for the development of a 2.5l prodrive special.

this is of course if by homologation you mean for rally entitlement as opposed to "type approval" for the EU.

I would rob a bank for a solberg special edition if it was based on a spec c

RON 10 November 2003 11:43 AM

Did anyone else think it was strange when Tommi said, 'I don't know what to do now' at the end of the Rally, it strikes me that if RB can't drive, then maybe Tommi will get the call back, I don't think that Colin could after whats been said, but Tommi.....

D6ale 10 November 2003 12:21 PM

iv'e got a name...

Subaru Impreza Hollywood Edition.

Ron,
Tommy is retiring, but you may be wrong about Colin ;) as I said in my first post, quote :- "Perhaps 2 Special Ed. were to be brought out :rolleyes: blue Margam7 & grey RB2 but maybe PS7 & CM7" if you get my drift ;)

Tony

Chris L 13 November 2003 06:54 AM

My money is on a 'PS6' - Obviously Petter's initials and '6' for Subaru's 6th world championship (3 manufacturers and now 3 drivers).

How about a Prodrive version of the Spec C with semi active suspension....

Chris

T5NYW 13 November 2003 11:21 AM

Chris,
That would be nice ;) lightweight Special editions would sell though :cool: be also nice in 2 formats WR Blue PS6 and the new Grey/Silver CM6 or RB6 if he gets better ;)

Knowing IM they'll Take the Turbo off, add 200kg's, 0-60 in a week and do one colour..... Cashmere :rolleyes: that me taking off the Christmas card list :D LOL

Tony

Old_Fart 13 November 2003 11:40 AM

With any luck they'll do them in red or some other unique to UK colour. The UK300 was a joke, being soo easy to ape with a standard WRX and off-the-shelf parts. Bring back the days if the Catalunya, Terzo and RB5, when the car *really* looked special...oh and the 22B Type UK ;)

T5NYW 13 November 2003 12:56 PM
