And I continue to buy Gucci Rush perfume although it stinks because about 10 years ago I read that a certain singer used it.

I drive a Ford, because (I can't afford anything faster and more expensive) in the price range I could afford they were the only brand who showed a real commitment to motorsport and rallying.
And if I smoked I guess I would try Rothmans for the very same reason and because their liveries were spectacular.
A shame I don't like the taste of Martini...There WAS nothing like rallying, Superrally is a joke!

I think I avoided buying Red Bull in 2011 when they were winning too much.

I never buy a product based on who they sponsor. In fact, I couldn't care less. I never watch any commercials from TV and I don't in general pay attention to sponsorship news.
I avoid buying Red Bull though."signature room for rent"

There is nothing good about Red Bull

I've never consumed a can of Red Bull (although I have tasted it). Coffee is still my choice in that arena.
May the forza be with you

In the first year of uni, I deliberately didn't purchase a financial calculator made by Sharp and got one made by Sony instead, because Sharp were the kit sponsors of Manchester United.
I also have deliberately never chosen to get mobile phone services from Vodafone for the same reason.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

I just want to see them treat their drivers fairly, and I feel a bit funny about the Vettel-love from Dr Marko/Horner etc.SPAM - Going off topic to give you the deals you don't want.

You're a 100% right. FIA should rattle the manufacturer's cage. Take the compromise or go. Rally 1s are dead in the water. If manufacturers don't agree, make Rally 2s as they are now the top category...
