Bruichladdich - why those colours?
« on: June 27, 2010, 11:13:20 pm »
Can anyone explaing me why the Bruichladdich Ginetta-Zytek was running English colours at Le Mans. Enjoying Islay malts, I know that's a part of Scotland. As a Dane, I'd say this would be as wrong as if a Carlsberg sponsored car was running Swedish colours!  ;D



Cheers,
Anders

An English car with an English driver (Tim Greaves) and Scottish sponsor, so the cross of St George is not that severely out of place.

I'm WELSH and enjoy Real Malt - Scottish.

Who frigging cares what colour a car racing is! The Malt is good. (great medicine)

Then, growing old is compulsary, but growing up is just optional.

Good point!
Thanks.
I'm Danish - and prefer French wine (over Danish :o at least), Belgian beer and Scottish malt.
