The FL still has Zeniths though, are cars the same spec ( and price) North and south , ( Same importer, same Tax)?

Northern Ireland is part of the uk so they still pay the same price as mainland uk. It's a different world over there. Im from northern Ireland originally and I have cousins who technically just live a few hundred metres over the border in the republic, buy their cars in uk and register them at their parents house in northern Ireland so avoid having to pay the high taxes imposed on cars registered in the republic. Fuel is cheaper in the republic so most of my relatives buy their fuel over the border and alot of people come over from the republic to do the weekly shop at asda, tesco etc in northern ireland as its alot cheaper. So if you live along the border you get the best of both worlds

Yes the only downside to a new Vrs here is that it still comes with 17'' zeniths.

18s are an option.

I love the higher spec thing but I don't see that as a good thing in ROI as your base price is higher as a result in UK you get more choice to suit your budget but as its further to ship the cars to ROI they force more extras on you in first place. I like the Zenith's more than the Neptune's ironically but would like them in 18".

Still in Ireland though, even the Tourist board call it Ireland now, not North and south and the people I spoke to in the North and south call it just Ireland, I say Whiskey is made in Scotland not the uk

Right you sunshine, the oldest "Whiskey" in the world is from what was at the time "Ireland" now "Northern Ireland" called Bushmills. They don't make "Whiskey" in Scotland they make "Scotch Whisky" (no "e")

And for the tourist board, the Official Northern Ireland Tourist Board disagrees with you (even says "Northern Ireland" 10 times on their own home page) and their Official marketing company Discover Northern Ireland also (see links below and come visit come see where the most famous ship ever made was built before some English bloke crashed it) :p

But what whiskey and international boarders has got to do with Davids (OP's) question I do not know.

On Topic (I'm back) Looks nice in white those skirts but I haven't a Scooby Doo where they are from. Ad was a private sale could always try calling the number and asking the bloke?

I am deslexsic by the way and have stayed in Bushmills and visited the Distillery and got bottles of the 1608 whiskey ,I drink more of that than Scotch their are adverts here in on Yorkshire tv that say discover Ireland not Northern or Southern and the tourist info I went to over there said the same, and I love all the Island and all the people North or South, it came about because I made a joke about Delorean , and was told it was not in Ireland. I am married to an girl from an Irish family by the way. The best bit about ALL Ireland is the fantastic driving roads, especially around the coast

I saw on Yorkshire region ITV1 this advert this afternoon

As I said "Discover Northern Ireland" is a marketing company and is one of many the Norn Iron tourist board pays to advertise and another one is "Discover Ireland" they are the names of the marketing companies they do not change the geography of the planet lol.

I am from near Bushmills and have a good collection of bottles my favourite one I am saving until the end of the world is a 1975 bottle from the millennium cask. I can't wait to get into it might buy another just so I can drink one. BlackBush is the badger for an everyday dram. I think you have had a good drive up the Causeway Coast, one of the handful of good roads in NI 99% of the roads are atrocious and in a terrible state. If your going over again pm me I can tell you about some fantastic places that tourists don't tend to find on their own the NITB can't push everything.

I have little to no care on what people think its called, want to call or believe it should be called I just have a big OCD thing about facts being just that, as it seems does preston334 who is absolutely correct.

By chance came across that road that is lined with the tree branches and is seen in photos in literature brethtaking!

Got mine on a disk somewhere but this is the image http://www.worldatla...s/tree_road.jpg

If you want to see potholed roads come to Bradford and try cycling on them , it is like Bhagdad

I get 1 litre bottles of Bushmills duty free for €10.45 and BlackBush for €15 I am going to amass a big collection. I have a big bottle of Red Label for medicinal and novelty purposes 4.5litre in a cradle Bushmills doesn't do one :(
