Follow the maintenance schedule in your owners manual, and stay on top of things that break, but predicting how long a car will last is even harder than predicting the weather. Caddyman 2011-03-31 00:35:24 UTC #5
Irish Family & County Tartans. There are very few Irish Family Tartans, unlike Scotland where there are hundreds. Most people of Irish heritage wear the Tartan of the Irish County where their families originated. Some of the Irish Family Tartans are of ancient origin, some of more recent design.
Tartan is often called plaid in North America, but in Scotland, a plaid is a tartan cloth slung over the shoulder as a kilt accessory, or a plain ordinary blanket such as one would have on a bed. Tartan is made with alternating bands of coloured (pre-dyed) threads woven as both warp and weft at right angles to each other.
