thanks for the info, we all enjoyed watching it. so as long as i do it with pride and honor for my swedish heritage, it should be OK to change my oil and filter on my truck, while wearing my kilt?

Traditional kilts are special and I wouldn't want to offend anyone, and that is part of the reason I prefer contemporary non-tartan kilts.

I'm just wearing them for comfort and to be a rebel. I used to be a rebel without a cause, but now I have kilts. My life has meaning once again.
