I'm a Scot (okay, well, mostly), and I married an Irish girl (I have a
particular weakness for redheads, it seems). She keeps talking about taking
a trip over to Ireland to explore her roots.

Whenever the subject comes up, I say she can drop me off in Scotland, and
we'll meet up afterwards in London to compare notes.

But I always wondered, why were the big Hollywood blockbuster movies about
great Scots of yore filmed in Ireland? Is Scotland all that unsightly, or
did Ireland's tax structure attract them more?

No, and you shouldn't troll groups either.

What are you on about? I don't troll any group....a here is my Mustang....

Sorry sounded like a troll question to me. Not to many people want to
add an 8-track to vehicle, let alone hack up a classic car to do so.

Sorry, but I';ve got to ask -- What on earth would compel you to put
an 8-track in any car, let alone a classic that didn't come with it?

My 89 did not come with an AM/FM/ Cassette, just a radio. It was
added at the dealer. My Thunderbird had no radio when I bought it almost
30 years ago, I found an 8 track to put in it and I have a Muntz HI-FI 4
track cartridge player. No it didn't come with the car, but it is
exactly something that would have been added in the late 60's.

Good point...I will have to think about what you say .......what would you
recommend ? remember the AM medium wave in Europe is 9Khz steps not 10Khz
like the USA so it can't be digital tuning.....I have ruined the AM medium
wave radio that came with the car trying to fix it so I am a bit stuck.
:~( if you guys could look into this for me and give me some links to the
best deals for say a manual tune radio/cassette that would fit without
cutting the metal dash ? ...thanks jim (and I will stick the NOS 8track on
ebay)


Oh so it's not an original 8 track. Try eBay for one place.

Because Ireland still has wide expanses of grass areas accessible for
filming large battle scenes, and the costs, or so I hear, are lower.
Or it might be the pubs. :0)

While some will dis the company.... Custom Auto Sound (on the net)
radios are produced in Germany and they have a switch between Euro and
US. I can't recall whether the switch is user friendly or must be set
at the factory when the prep for shipment.

Did you get the Reverb? I have a reprint of the 65 Mustang Owners
Manual and in the back are options. I added the 8 Track to my first
65 Mustang. Can't recall for sure, but I think it was a Lear. Added a
pair of speakers as well.
