Heres the story: Ferrari Theme Park

Guess your right, I don't like the idea too much. Should Ferrari focus on cars? I mean they do have quite the footprint in clothes and other items, but I think this is a bit too much.

It'll have to be a Japanese company. I want it to be reliable. images/smilies/lol.gif

Ferrari Land will give me another reason to visit Dubai.
After they made the map of the world, I'm not going to be surprised if they did anything else over there.

or

Rolls Royce, German reliability, With a smooth ride.

After they made the map of the world, I'm not going to be surprised if they did anything else over there.

The Theme Park is going to be in Abu Dhabi which is another city in the UAE. It's about an hour and a half from Dubai to drive - at least that's how long it used to take when I lived in Dubai. Apparently now thanks to the traffic it can take even longer...

And tbh I'm not surprised Abu Dhabi is finally picking up on the whole tourist drug Dubai's been on for the last 8 years...

Well I for one wouldn't trust condoms made of the rubber Bridgestone uses on the Ferrari tires...because they SUCK!

O...no wait, that may be a good thing images/smilies/wink.gif

How did we get from a Ferrari Theme park to condoms?! images/smilies/eek.gif

Oh, yeah, because this is Finalgear and we're awesome. 8)

I'd have a Lamborghini condom: German reliability and solidity, and Italian passion. If I had a Lamborghini, I'd need some condoms as well. images/smilies/wicked.gif

I'd still go with Japanese even if most of it is boring.

I'd hate to see one break. Imagine the repair and maintanence costs after that!

Exactly, the Italian ones would just leak everywhere. The French ones would just catch fire all the time, and the smell of burning rubber isn't pleasant. The Japanese would be freaky with LEDs on them and a Hello Kitty icon would pop up when it's full. The American ones would be huge and impractical, but everyone would still buy them because "you never know when you'd need one".

FSO(Polish) condoms obviously cos they're cheap, look like korean cars(so you won't wear it unless you need to) with huge amounts of vibration and very rough ride for her pleasure 8) but the chronic understeer means you might end up in the wrong 'lane' without her permission images/smilies/ohmy.gif then it's all over.. images/smilies/wink.gif
