555 is a tobacco company that sponsors the SWRT.

I don't know how intentional this coincidence is, considering that 555 is usually related to the SWRT car, and the 22B is not a rally car.

Well the 22b was built to comemorate Colin McCrae's rally World Championship in 97(?) I think..

So it could be intentional indeed.

yeah i know what 555 is. wasnt the car a tribute to the sucess of the rallycar?

It was intentional. I've seen it mentioned a few times.

Heh, cool.

Here's a pic I took of the only street legal 22b in the US, last year at the East coast shootout.

Is that the only 22B in the country?

That is one of my top 3 favorite Subaru's of all time. Tied with the S202 and the infamous BC5

i am only a little nerdy more of a geek though and all i know is that hexidecimal is another numbering system. like binary uses 1s and 0s and decimal uses 10 digits 0-9. im sure there is a bigger math nerd that could fill us in more.

it's a numbering system, the common/standard system is decimal, there's also binary, which is like 10 and 110101, and then there's oct-something I forget.

I'd rather have a bc6

It's base 16.

For those who don't know how you can go past base 10, you use the first 6 letters of the alphabet to count. So instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 etc you go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, 10 and so on. It's most commonly used in computers for programming.

Hexadecimal is a base 16 numbering system 0 - F, like Vikash said. There's also Binary Coded Decimal (I dislike BCD), Decimal, Binary and Gray Code. There are others, I think. Remember, when counting to ten to include the zero as a number

. Zero, it's not just a place holder anymore.... nevermind.

Matt, I see you've begun using the photodump

Yep, thanks for pointing me there.
