It would be nice to get those covers but not at 350 Euro

Yeah pretty high. If six members needed one they could combine their funds but it would still be pretty much over the top...Right now it would be well over $500 with shipping...So figure $100 each!

I just noticed there have been two counter offers. Just for fun here is a translation of the listing.

Amazing to see one that color. I don't want one that bad though.

Is that log badge on the top cover the same as the one that PaddyIreland is reproducing for the starter covers?

 

[blsnelling]

Sure is.

I find it interesting that the green one doesn't have a model plate on it. Mine doesn't either.

PATRICKIRELAND! God, you yankee redneck racist bastards....:greenchainsaw:

Paddy is seen (though not by me) as a little offensive - some people think it implies a "Thick Paddy", i.e. all Irish people are stupid...




































We are, though.

That was a great translation...what did you use? Or did you do it yourself?

I thought a bonnett was something a girl wears on her head?

 

[landyboy]

Thats interesting pat, cos i thought Irish folk called Patrick were called Paddy in the same fashion that English folk called John are called Jack with no offense intended.
Live and learn i guess.

I was thinking Paddy and Patrick both came from Padraig, like the golfer.

Now that I think about it, Patrick is more likely from Pater/Peter.

IIRC, my grandpa's grandfather Patrick was called "Pater" in the old church records in Ireland, so I should have known better.

Obviously you've never owned an English car! :kilt:

If you did, you'd know that a bonnet is something you raise every ten miles.

Depends on which side of the divide you grew up on... my whole family have Irish Catholic names (Oonagh, Owen, Conor, Ciara, Patrick, Maia, Fiona, Deirdre etc..) - but we are all Protestants. Not that I give a bollox about religion, but I asked my dad once why we were all given "fenian" names. The answer was "just because your great grandad liked to confuse people".
He certainly did, and if (God forbid) I ever get some hussy knocked up, the kid will also have an Irish name - got to keep the tradition going!
