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 as we know it today, is not thought to have existed in Scotland before the 16th century. By the late 16th century there are numerous references to striped or checkered plaids. It is not until the late 17th or early 18th century that any kind of uniformity in tartan is thought to have occurred.
