In the interest of fairness i should point out that there are other alternatives out there!<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
Whilst I take your point Paul, the original question here was:

can anyone recommend (or otherwise) Robsport's cars?

we all tried to answer that as honestly as possible so I don't really think that fairness comes into it this time.
Can't help wondering if Mr T made the trip though, and what the outcome was if he did?

Hmmmm, I'm sure that post wasn't there when I started typing my last reply! Looking at the times of posting we were probably both sitting at our computers typing at the same time [;)]

Good news though and welcome to the clan [:D]

Out of curiosity:
What's the Clan Tartan? Is it the red, green, tan or blue check?.. [:D]

gordon kerr · Postby **gordon kerr** » 15 Feb 2009 07:33

It's one of them modern ones in four quarters:

front left green
front right red
rear left blue
rear right tan

That's for a kilt, of course, for other items arange the four quarters as you see fit [;)]

Surely there is some hue of 'rust'in a TR tartan of the clan of Mc.Wedge?!

See ya. Paul

gordon kerr · Postby **gordon kerr** » 15 Feb 2009 11:13

Hmm good point Paul, maybe we could insist that all metal parts, belt buckles, chains supporting the sporran, matal parts on the sprorran and the kilt pin be rusty (or at least coloured to look rusty)! And, of course, the kilt pin, which often has a clan crest design, should have the Triumph laurel wreath.

Please, though, no one suggest that it also needs a rust hole, I'd struggle to suggest where that should go - especially considering what is usually worn under a kilt [;)]

My understanding of the kilt wearing Scots is that nothing is worn under the kilt, it should all be in perfect working order [:D]

Mmmm I am going to a wedding in April

i wonder if i could get a kilt made up of out tan plaid seats

as i am a true Scot i qualify for it to be worn

Nothing better than highland dress at a wedding

also it is a national sin to ware anything under it

TR7 tartan MMMmmmmm

If it's not broke don't fix it.

Love the hat ..[8D]

I am going to put the car on the road a month early this year

just so i can drive it to this wedding

but i think my hat should be in tan to mach the interior of my car ..[:D]

If it's not broke don't fix it.

Graham Robertson · Postby **Graham Robertson** » 15 Feb 2009 13:42

I'm in the same boat, as my new car has a tan interior (the red hat matched my last car!). I can't remember where I've seen it (possibly an advert in a classic car magazine?)but I'm sure I've seen a whole roll of "new old stock" tan "TR7 tartan" advertised somewhere.

I think I bought it - and it was roughly 4*4 feet of tan textile. Not enough to make a kilt out of it
(when my seats and doors have had what they need). Not even a scarf...
