:mad:

Because you're British!
There isn't one for Yorkshiremen either and neither would I want one!

Because it rains too much in Wales to make owning a convertible there a viable option. ;)

Too many sheep to follow thus making decisions regarding which car to buy difficult.
Warning: This is not a government leek!

Sorry, our friends across "The Ditch" [residents of New Zealander] have priority rights to anything to do with sheep :D:D:D. {Stand by for return fire from NZ].

The Welsh will just have to make do with singing and playing rugby - both of which they do extremely well but not in an Eos :).

Isn’t owning an Eos elitist enough? :D :cool:

Ok Smart Arses. There is a section for Scotland, N. Ireland and England. Thats why I asked why there is not having a Welsh one.

Maybe the Mods are being sheepish?

Be proud to be connected to the UK:D

Only Tom Jones knows for sure, and he's not singing.

No bloody way any Welshman let alone those of us with Welsh ancestry can be proud to be connected to the English-dominated United Kingdom.

The English killed the last true Prince of Wales in 1282AD - the subsequent English-born holders of this title are mere usurpers being the beneficiaries of murder.

No wonder I eagerly await Australia becoming a republic and casting off the last shackles of the British monarchy which stole our land from the original custodians. The British used our country as a dumping ground for those who had no option other than petty crime to survive in a class-dominated society that had no compassion or charity towards those less fortunate than themselves.

Something to be proud of?

Maybe if the Brits would allow the Welch to build casinos and keep all the money like we did for the Native Americans here in the U.S., you could let go of all that anger...but then, it HAS only been 800 years, don't want to be too hasty bout these things.

how's the cricket going ?

Exactly as it should be - we do let the opposition win occasionally to keep them interested :D:D.

Just look at the results since 1877 to see which nation has the greater success.

If my memory of US history is correct, you managed to get rid of the British very early in your history and never looked back.

We were not so fortunate - Churchill wanted to keep several divisions of Australian troops in the northern hemisphere during the dark days of 1942 when they were desperately needed here to defend us from a Japanese invasion. Fortunately our Prime Minister stood up to Churchill and brought our troops back and the Japanese were stopped on the hills above Port Moresby in New Guinea not far from the Australian mainland. It took the arrival of US forces in mid-1942 to save Australia from the Japanese commencing with the Battle of the Coral Sea which was the first major defeat suffered by the Japanese after they entered the war. We were expendable as far as the British were concerned but the US thought differently.

This is why Australian forces have fought alongside US forces in every conflict involving the US since our federation in 1901 and especially in more recent years - we do not forget who helped us in our time of need.

We are not angry; we judge our friends by their actions and not their words :).

P.S. Our family has a very close connection with a US family that was established in 1942 when a wounded US serviceman from New Guinea was sent to Australia for medical treatment and met my parents whilst in hospital. This friendship has extended to my generation and is continuing with our children.

You certanily make a good case for disliking the British. Yes, here in the U.S. we try to look out for our friends, on the other hand, we don't like to let them forget it either. I think there is good reason for the term "ugly American".

I do not dislike the British people - I just dislike certain elements of their society who believe they were "born to rule" when experience has subsequently proved the reverse was the case. The consequent lack of equality and opportunity for the vast majority of the population who were unable to choose their parents wisely that I observed on visits to the UK over several decades has caused me some distress as I am egalitarian by belief and by behaviour.

Every country has problems with certain citizens who become rude, abrasive, loud-mouthed and obnoxious once they travel in foreign lands. I have seen enough "ugly Australians" in my travels and have had to apologise to the recipients of their behaviour and cultural insensitivity on too many occasions for my liking.

I never expected a history lesson and a discussion on political philosophy on an Eos forum! Quite refreshing - and informative - but let's not get too nationalistic! (Having said that, I too want to know why there isn't a "Welsh' section!)
Equality of opportunity, I say. Everyone should be able to have (an education and) an Eos if they really want.

I think we should allow our Welsh friends to have their own sub-section. Just to answer the question:

Q: How do you get to Wales in an Eos?

A: you put the roof down and put one in the front and one in the back. Boom boom!

Sigh! Everyone knows that Welsh jokes have to have sheep in them not whales!

Hey!! The EOS DSG is built for Wales, it has the hill start system as standard.

As for sheep jokes are we leaving ourselves wide open for some "Baaaa"d ones?
