Car Forum / Ferrari Cars / November 2003vag buying ferrari
Hi guys, I heard rumors that VAG would be buying Ferrari. Anyone else heard that ?  SignatureAlexandre 2001 Audi A4 2.8QM > Hi guys, > > I heard rumors that VAG would be buying Ferrari. Anyone else heard > that ? I would think that is NOT happening. Unless Fiat goes under, and even then, I can't imagine Ferrari/Maserati now could not survive as an independent company again. I can't imagine Luca is schafing under Fiat rule, as he appears to get to do whatever he wants, but I'm sure he would not like being under the thumb of a German monolith - there isn't that much they can offer that Ferrari isn't already able to do itself.

"sausagey German goodness"? Does this apply to all my Mercedes? Or to Helga, the beautiful maiden [I think] next door? Or to my Blaupunkt 400kw diesel toothbrush? Excellent phraseology there. > "sausagey German goodness"? Does this apply to all my Mercedes? Or to > Helga, the beautiful maiden [I think] next door? Or to my Blaupunkt > 400kw diesel toothbrush? Excellent phraseology there. Kiss off. Nobody here cares about "all your Mercedes". Helga could be a man, for all you know. And nobody cares, or even should know, about your toothbrush. Time for dinner, CCF. Sauerbraten, I'm sure. MC <<Helga could be a man, for all you know. >> I'm pretty sure the OP alluded to that himself. C. >> "sausagey German goodness"?

And nobody cares, or even should know, about your >toothbrush. I rather thought he got and took my point well... Did you (the collective "you") know the Audi S4 strains the scales at 3,864lbs? ...That just one tall girl short of two EFFING tons in a car of sporting yet practical pretensions which won't even hold one tall girl... (OK: scrunched up dead across the back seat, maybe.) A BMW M5 porks in at 3,995lbs, but it will indeed hold _two_ tall women, provided no one is sitting behind them (except the C&D patented "Thalidomide babies"). (Figures from C&D.) >Time for dinner, CCF. Sauerbraten, I'm sure. My friend Pam makes a Sauerbraten you would die for. She's about all of 98lbs, drenched in Doppel Boch, and with her pockets full of rocks. ...We tried once. > My friend Pam makes a Sauerbraten you would die for.

What surprises me about that is that they couldn't wait to get out of it and into the RS6. MC >> <<Did you (the collective "you") know the Audi S4 strains the scales >> at 3,864lbs?>> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >What surprises me about that is that they couldn't wait to get out of it and >into the RS6. 4,229 brat snarfing lbs at curb... That's Cadillac SUV poundage! <<What surprises me about that is that they couldn't wait to get out of it and into the RS6.>> New cars to sell. They struggled with it this season, but still managed to win the championship. Would have been a different story if McClure hadn't been taken out of the race at Road America and kept out at Laguna on doctor's orders. Wonder what will happen next year. If BMW keeps whining and takes their dishes and doilies and goes home... Audi or Corvette? I'd say the championship goes to McClure in the Vette. He's gonna want it bad next year.

"World Challenge GT"? <<"World Challenge GT"?>> SCCA Pro Racing Speed World Challenge GT Championship. The best sprint road racing to be found in North America and some of the best in the world. <A HREF="http://www.world-challenge.com/">SCCA Pro Racing Speed World Challenge</A> C. :::who's not at all biased::: ><<"World Challenge GT"?>> > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >C. :::who's not at all biased::: You shouldn't have included the link... Showroom Stock Pro with weight penalties for being successful? ...How socialistically advertising neutral. <<You shouldn't have included the link...>> I don't hide what I do and wouldn't do it if I were ashamed of it. I just don't tend to advertise it in the NG. <<Showroom Stock Pro with weight penalties for being successful? ...How socialistically advertising neutral.>> Yes, I'm sure that's why Ford, GM, Audi, BMW, Nissan, Acura and Honda are all heavily involved. Nothing to gain there. Oh, no. Must be why Speed Channel is the title sponsor too. They just have money to burn. Lucky for us.
