    So I assume it only applies to the Country that you are assigned to, but does it still allow you to travel across boarders, especailly in Diplomatic vehicles.

    I ask as I seen a GB Diplomatic vehicle today, driving through the Republic (identified by a yellow number plate with a series of numbers, the letter D, followed by more numbers, ie ***D***).

    Possibly something to do with the upcoming G8 in Enniskillen?

    Thread also gives the opertunity to play one of the best movie scenes ever.

    Diplomatic cars would have irish plates with the letters cd (consul diplomatic) on the plate. Has no bearing on international travel, easier or more difficult.

    An Auwdi? An black Auwdi A6 by any chance? Just robbed one from Derry. Plan on using it as a getaway car later. Fancy a spin?

    There are (apparently) people staying in Cavan for the conference, so probably someone from the participating country's embassy checking it out.

    Might even be the Irish ambassador!

    Would not surprise me, considering their closeness, if people staying in Cavan, Sligo, Donegal, or even, wait for it, if they can find it......

    Leitrim.

    Think there was even talk of Sligo Airport being used.

    What would they use Sligo Airport for? Somewhere to go hang-gliding on their days off or something? :p

    Does this mean I can get out of speeding tickets and penalty points if I nominate myself as the ambassador for Freedonia ?
