These Irish eyes are crying


Ireland customs agents are cracking down on the super-dee-duper rich who are trying to avoid paying the whopping 21 percent VAT on a luxury car. Your tricked-out '57 Bel Air is safe, they're look for Aston Martins, Ferrari's, Maseratis and the like. It seems a loophole allows Seamus to run the mileage up to 6K kilometers on his whip and avoid the hefty import tax.

If you see a man in a bespoke suit and monocle hitchhiking on the road from Dublin Port, where his Porsche or X5 was seized and now sits idle, help a brother out and loan him your walking shillelagh.
