Tartan Jack Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hey everyone! I've been off for a while. The "period" reason is that I was in hiding from a botched raid. That's now blown over . . . Real reason: Got logged off and couldn't figure out how to get back on (Username and password confusion). Then, I got busy with family, car mods, and a new job. I recovered the headliner in Wallace tartan, chosen for a number of reasons. Plus, the red, black, and yellow works REAL well w/ pirate flags and so forth (black is most common now, but they also used red and -as Foxe points out- once used mostly yellow). I'm going to make a Wallace tartan "Jolly Roger" for car shows and events. Here is my car: I'm redoing these seats to match the red/black headliner. I've named it "Stirling," after the Scottish town/city where William Wallace had his greatest victory, biggest defeat, and where Robert the Bruce won independence in 1314. The name also alludes to the silver color. Plus, it sounds like a period name for a sloop . . . -John "Tartan Jack" Wages, of South Carolina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
