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.
The evidence is now conclusive that every Irish clan family had its own distinctive kilt colour. Unlike the Scots with their different coloured family tartans, Irish families had a preference for one-colour kilts, and I have collected the authentic colours of 200 Irish clan family kilts and coats of arms. And still the search goes on for the remainder, though I doubt if there are many more.
