My guess is that Ford needs money, and looks into any possibilty to get some, even when it's through a lawsuit that even a child can understand that is to stupid to talk about.

Sounds like we're still a bit peeved that Enzo didn't sell Ferrari to Ford.....

 Last time this happened the result was we had the awesome Ferrari 312/512 cars, the GT40 and the 917.

Any ideas how we can stir things up a bit?

PS..Can Ford race a pick-up at Le Mans?

Building a racing car and going racing would be a great start!

Ferrari says there is unlikely to be confusion between its F1 car and Ford's truck   ;D

It's like the authors of Sniff Petrol have taken over the BBC!!!

I may be falling in to your trap here, Brad, But Sniff Petrol is Richard Porter & he's the script editor on Top Gear.

But you probably knew that?

Ss if Ford are thinking of taking Ferrari to court then......the next court case will be General Dynamics taking Force India to court for calling its new car an F111 ;D ;D ;D

I believe the car is now to be known as the Ferrari F150th Italia to avoid litigation/confusion

There's a fairly rough old campsite in the Lake District I sometimes visit. There's not much in the way of facilities, but for the more delicately minded camper the farmer has built a small wooden enclosure in one corner of the field, and helpfully labelled it "shitbox".
It's a good job British Leyland aren't still around, or they'd be threatening to sue too.

The sort of campsite originally frequented in the glory days of yore by the likes of this fine product....

But beware, as the one of the roots of the brand has already returned (as a link, as the langauge is a tad strong for those of a gentle disposition....) so I predict that it is only a matter of time before "camping sauvage a la Cumbria" is threatened by a dirty great writ slapped across the facilities....
