Depends on whether or not there is enough paint left over from the Fiat tractors.

Good job you're not one of their employees. One former employee with a twisted nose got the sack for saying something to do with tractors a couple of decades ago...

Or was it trucks?....

What would happen is someone came out with cigarette brand called Ferrari?

 

[Senna's_right_foot]

FIAT would sue them.

 

[Mephistopheles]

what if their surname was Ferrari, nothing wrong with putting your own name on a brand....

 

[RasputinLives]

There is if its copyrighted. Bet you couldn't call anything Dyson anymore even if it was your last name

 

[Mephistopheles]

Damn bang goes my idea to make a fortune...

 

[RasputinLives]

You could always just spell it Farari or something like one of those knock off brand of trainers you got on the market.

 

[mjo]

Or you could make it in China - they seem to ignore copyright over there, as if it never existed.

 

[Mephistopheles]

Oh look they already do them dispelling the myth that the bar code was not advertising..

 

[Bill Boddy]

Incubus there was a story going around a few years ago that there were only two ways of getting a vehicle painted in Ferrari red. One was to buy a Ferrari, the other was that when they were short of red for the Fiat tractors they used Ferrari red, it seems that they were much cheaper than the cars.

A bit off topic but can I draw a parallel between the removal of the barcode on the Ferrari and the recent report on allowing women to drive in Saudi Arabia?

The academics, working in conjunction with Kamal Subhi, a former professor at the conservative King Fahd University, produced the conclusions in a report for the country's legislative assembly, the Shura Council.

It warned that allowing women to drive would "provoke a surge in prostitution, pornography, homosexuality and divorce".
Within 10 years of the ban being lifted, it claimed, there would be "no more virgins" in the Islamic kingdom.

So, if you want to prove something just give an academic enough money and the right brief and you will get the answer you want. Crap, just spotted a bar code on the back of a magazine so I'm off out to buy some Marlboros.

[Speshal]
