De Beers to Ferrari

[vancouver]

And now for my first 'proper' post...

( threads and posts in Community, aren't considered proper posts, are they? :confused: )

In my local press there was rumour linking the South African jewellers, De Beers, to Ferrari as their main sponsor.

They replace Vodafone, who have recently defected to McLaren.

I found this link

Ferraris? Diamonds? They go together well. Kinda like Little E and Bud.

The De Beers diamond consortium runs the biggest scam in the world. Why does an association with Ferrari seem appropriate?

Damn. Wrong again, huh? I was just thinking about expensive things. Sorry.

Didn't De Beers very publically try to distance themselves from this when the rumor first leaked weeks ago?

I saw the thread title on the main page and thought the very same thing. A match made from hell.
