New Pleiades Mag.

[ali37]

Just received the new Scooby mag Pleiades in the post.

Anyone else?

[4Hero]

nope, never heard of it. Any good?

I got 2 - one for each mis-spelling of my name

It's not bad for a freebie with a pretty obvious sales / promotion style.

10/10 for getting a full page tribute to Colin, plus a full page photo.

Shame the article about the Wales rally came after the actual event though.

Best keep the invitation to join their test drive panel a secret though

Cheers, David

Yeah, I got mine thru' the other day as well. Thought it was okay, bit light on content maybe but then it's the first issue. Not sure how often it's likely to come out as I only read thru' it quickly?

It's come direct from Subaru, I'm guessing that people who've bought a new car in the last year or two will get it, not sure if they will send it out to everyone who's bought subarus before that or not?

Pleiades is a star or group of stars or something similar if memory serves correctly, cant make the connection with subaru unless it has something to do with the five stars on the badge?

Correct Dunk....it's all in the badge

The Pleiades (pronounced /ˈpliːədiːz/ or /ˈplaɪədiːz/), also known as M45, the Seven Sisters, SED, or Subaru (in Japan), are an open cluster in the constellation of Taurus. It is among the nearest to the Earth of all open clusters, probably the best known and certainly the most obvious to the naked eye. This asterism is sometimes referred to as the Maia Nebula, perhaps erroneously considering that the reflection nebulosity surrounding Maia is extrinsic (see below).

The cluster is dominated by hot blue stars, which have formed within the last 100 million years. Dust that forms faint reflection nebulosity around the brightest stars was thought at first to be left over from the formation of the cluster but is now known to be an unrelated dust cloud that the stars are currently passing through. Astronomers estimate that the cluster will survive for about another 250 million years, when it will have dispersed due to gravitational interactions with the spiral arms of the galaxy and giant molecular clouds.

All from memory of course

Thank goodness the wife made the final descision on our second daughters name... if it had been me who decided to call her Maia and then the wife read this bit about Subaru and Maia being somewhat linked I think I'd be getting beaten up
