I went into a local scrap yard recently, looking for a cheap 'runner' to race around on my mates farm.
The lad in the portacabin said, 'Weve got a ScoobyDoo which runs, its down the back, in isle 3.'
Feckin result I thought, only to find the ScoobyDoo, was an XR2.
Dissapointed is an understatement.

The constalation is the seven sister of orion I think, but you will notice only five stars on the logo. this is as after the war the giant corporations were dismantled only five re-merged hence the five stars on the logo. well thats what I got looking up the meaning of the word Subaru some time ago.

A couple of things I read on the internet
" SUBARU comes from the archaic Japanese words 'SUBERU-BOSHI' (Commanding Stars) and refers to the six brightest stars of the Pleiades star cluster "
" Subaru started out as "The Aircraft Research Laboratory" in 1917 by Chikuhei Nakajima. Then in 1931, the company was reorganized as "Nakajima Aircraft Co., Ltd", designer of the infamous Zero fighter. At the end of the Second World War, Nakajima Aircraft was again reorganized, this time as Fuji Sangyo Co, Ltd. In 1946, Fuji Sangyo created its first Rabbit motor scooter with spare aircraft parts from the war. In 1950, Fuji Sangyo was divided into 12 smaller corporations according to the 1950 Corporate Credit Rearrangement Act, but between 1953-1955, four of these corporations and a newly formed corporation formed by an alliance of the four aforementioned companies were again merged together to form the Fuji Heavy Industries we know today.
The new corporation adopted the "Subaru" cluster of stars as its official logo for its line of automobiles.

'Portakabin' is a brand name.
To answer the original poster... Would you rather they be called Scrappy's?
