We have a GB sticker on our Jeep ..... unfortunately the natives think it means Green Bay :\
All the more reason to have a cross of St George on my van

There are many Union Jacks here, but I want to show my support for the England team !

I thought that it ran 12 months of the year. At least it seemed to when I lived in the UK!

...Which brings me back to the subject of the post - Where did you get it from ?
Did you buy it from Halfords or somewhere before you left the UK ?

Just had an idea - lets have a competition to see who can come up with the most original or just a funny plate.

Winner gets the rounds in at the nearest Irish bar.

Yes! We do this in Connecticut. I had no idea other people called it that too.

It's a mystery to me. I have been watching motor racing for years in the UK (American TV coverage) and now in the US and one of the top teams, CART, NASCAR, and now IRL is Target [English pronunciation] Chip Ganassi, so I can't see where the "Tarjay" comes from.

In any case I don't know/ have never met (NY, VA, and NC) anyone who calls it Tarjay.
