How to Make an Italian Sports Car Manufacturer Mad?
written by sideout
How do you make a very respectable sports car brand mad at you?
- buy their car
- cut it in half
- inserted a 3m (9.5ft) section of hand-built carbon fiber
- keep the badge on and drive this car around town
The brand - Ferrari, the person who made them mad - Dan Cawley, 36, of Cheadle, Manchester. The Ferrari lawyers say that once you modify the car like that it is no longer a Ferrari. Therefore the all prancing horse badges have got to be removed. Mr. Cawley on the other hand is saying that he can do whatever he wishes to with his own property. The legal battle is about to begin as Mr.Cawley was given 14 days to remove the badges from his creation.
Who do you think is right in this situation?

If Ferrari is allowed to stop someone from doing this, then they’ll be able to stop someone from putting a bumper sticker on their cars as well.

Yeah, if Ferrari wins then in effect all limo companies that have those stretched cars should go out of business.
