The logo is cool, but I have no clue what it is.

i think that's where the tobacco sponsor "galoises" used to go, but they couldn't put it up in GER because of the anti-tobacco ad stuff.

It's Gauloises, a french cigarette.
It says "Go!!!!!!!" in countries where tobacco advertising is illegal.

Ar-ha. I feel smarter now.
I hope the exclamation points are worth 2hp each... maybe I can get the Miata into the 17's.

And, btw, they're the most disgusting smokes ever. They taste like burning cow dung.
| Draken | 08-25-2006 02:46 PM |
Loeb can thank the Yamaha MotoGP team for his sponsorship. Yamaha and Gaulloises had a falling out over the winter, but they quickly landed on the Citroen.

imo it looks like trash next to the subie, but loeb probably is the best driver, so i wont hold it against him :D
| 25rstautoxr | 08-26-2006 09:56 PM |
I would of guessed go!!!!!!!! was the devil, and Loeb sold his sole. Seriously how many times can win.

If you'd even heard Loeb early in his career, you'd understand he is the epitomy of arrogance!
| steev | 08-26-2006 11:07 PM |
Ray,
If you ever heard Loeb at all in your life, you would know he is just a humble good guy (as proven by the accolades he got from Petter and king carlos after his 2004 title). Although, Richard Burns was probably the best gentleman of all times in rallying: humble, talented and nice.

Well, it's only next to the Impreza for the split second it takes Loeb to pass a stranded Petter on the stage... :devil:

I rode an elevator in New Zealand With Loeb and his girlfreind.
I was wearing a Subby T and Petter was winning the Rally of NZ (at the end of the 1st or 2nd day cant rememebr)... and Loeb was real nice...
He said "my boy was doing well today" (meaning Petter) I said yeh, and he might win if your car breaks on ya :) He thought it was quite funny, and we continued to have a chat as he headed out for dinner.
Cant say there was even a hint of arrogance. Was a pretty cool guy I thought...

He is an awesome driver!!! and very well respected in all europe...
| KAX | 08-27-2006 02:45 AM |
Sebastion is a good guy to have dominate a series, because he is still so respectful of his competitors. not like a schumacher dominance where its all ego. being a petter fan i should probably hate loeb, but hes just too good of a guy to dislike.
but im not sure if the GO!!!!! is because of the banning of tobacco ads in certain countries, otherwise we would see it on some rallies. But i think its because of the rule where a tobacco company could only advertise on one race car. Same reason peugout couldn't say marlboro anymore, and why subaru isnt 555, because they sponsor F1 cars.

Um, Nope...
Germany, Australia and New Zealand dont allow tobacco advertising, so you will find that none of the cars have th logos on them... Just Something similar...
Like the ())) - 555 logo, and the strong Malboro colour scheme on the EVOS.
you only have to look at two differnt rally photos on the FIA page to see that they have the proper logo during another round where sponsorship isnt a problem.

Good to know. ButtDyno and I were scratching our heads the entire time we were at Rally Germany trying to figure out what "GO!!!!!!!" meant.
Now I need to go put my "GO!!!!!!!" stickers on my car. ;)

look...
guys...
even if I didn't know it was cause of cigarette ad bans or whatever, I'd just write it off as some retarded french thing cause theres tons of retarded crap them frogs like. can you explain even 10% of the stickers on these cars? It's all insane foreign stuff. I don't really think about it myself. I did wonder about the subaru pig cause the pig is cute.
And if you put "GO!!!!!" stickers on your car you will look very, very, very, confused to anyone who knows better, and look silly to anyone who doesn't know. But please go ahead, and post pics.

They are tiny, probably 1" by 4" long. I'm going to place them on the lower corners of the rear windows where most people put a sticker or two. I have some other ones on there now that are needing to be retired. I'll post pics when I get them installed.

:) The wife just said "she was pretty" So I guess that means shes pretty hot!
She is alot smaller thn she looks on TV (So is Leob) which makes her even cuter.
Not totally my taste, but above a 7.5 :)

Indeed. Benson & Hedges was doing the same thing last year on their F1 and other OW cars, having it say "BE ON EDGE " instead.
