One employer my husband had...their heritage was Scottish...they had the Red Dragon as the emblem to their company...hubby obviously recognised it and informed them it was in fact WELSH 
Are you allowed to steal the emblem of a flag for your companies motive anyway
...maybe it was a little diff... I never saw it

Re: Silver Saab in NJ
It wasn't me.
I drive a black Focus with a discreet Union Jack sticker in the back. I was on the 295 this morning but came off at 26 and headed south on the 55. So if you see me give me a wave, I drive that route 2-3 times a week.
I got stuck in the snarl up at Woodcrest Station

Walking round the block one day I saw the vehicle in a driveway.....I think my son was selling boyscout stuff cos I remember kncking on the door and starting a conversation...turns out the flag was already on the vehicle when she bought it off a welsh dude...she liked it so much she kept it....ah well...she said he was from South Wales anyway

European trucks have heating systems separate from the engine, no need to leave the truck running.

I hate the things ..... Shaky, rattle filled, hard to manouver and a transmission that was given the chop in the late 80's in Europe.
