I agree, it can make travelling through some countries a bit more irksome. I want the car to be noticed not the flag. Leave a foreign flag waiver to Jeremy Clarkson

As others have said it depends on the flag, the countries, and the type of travel.
But a sticker is better as I wouldn’t want a flag on the vehicle driving around my home country.

DR was marked up with flags for the circumnavigation and that helped out on several occasions (border crossings, military checkpoints).
Anything you can do to switch a twitchy guard from cautious to curious helps.

Although it helps that the DR is clearly civilian. A white Grenadier with radome antennas might be another issue.

We are on a very large, very remote island.
Pretty good chance if you see another Grenadier it will be from here.

Yes Dave but in Australia we have our own type of fervent nationalism - it's called statism.

For those non-Australian's; Australia has 6 separate states with sovereign rights, (and flags) just like the US and Germany (?).

A lot of Australians are very proud & parochial (too much for many) about their state so I guess some Aussie bound Grenadiers may have state flags stuck to windows.

oh yeah. Australia does have 2 other places that aren't States (not sure exactly why) but are Territories (they have their own flags too): Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory (like Washington DC)

Sadly the type of nationalism that has become associated with rabid flag waving has become quite toxic in my view and rightly or wrongly I make judgments about people who are overly keen on displaying flags. There will be no flags on mine.

I know the feeling
I have lived all over Australia but on the two occasions I have lived in Perth it was most evident and I got to feeling a lot more like a Western Australian than anywhere else.
If I had a choice I would move back there tomorrow.
i love it.

Is there an option for no flag? I thought it came with a UK/French flag or you choose your own country?

I wasn't too far away years ago in Cottesloe just up the road from the Hotel, so many foggy memories of Sunday sessions
:eek:

I first moved into a place in Broome street Cottesloe with a great verandah facing the beach
Only problem was that from 2pm onwards the sun shone in so bright and hot that I had to close the blinds and pull down a shade cloth awning.
The other place my verandah faced north so I had a view right up the coast but the sun was blocked out
Perfect
