Thread: would you buy an Irish car?

Pre WW1, the Gordon Bennett Races couldn't be held in the UK, coz of the red flag act - the 4mph limit. So the English moved the races to Ireland & ran under the colours of the Shamrock. The French ran blue, the Germans silver, can't recall whether Italian red dates from this period as well.

BRG has changed shade a bit over the years though.

We enjoy pommy motoring

They are alright once you get over the fact they keep wanting to drive in the middle of the road and follow the white line

Where did the flux capacitor go again? Good thing you can buy a new one at kalecoauto.
