Question for the Irish

[Miniliteman]

Have been watching some old vids from the mid 90's the last couple of days. On one of them the (irish?) commentator says about the late Bertie Fisher in his Impreza: "he's driving the car with gay abandon" ... or something that sounds like that.
Just want to know what that means.

Thanks, Leon.

I remember Dickie Davis on World of Sport using that phrase a bit. I reckon it just means giving it a bit of welly

[RS2000CUSTOM]

U sure he isnt saying

"he is driving the car with his I support gay armband on"

Just a thought ! - lol lol

[morcheen]

means something like 'without a care'

[pushrod]

Maybe him and his co-driver weren't wearing any pants.

Have a gay day,
It's a lovely gay morning
I'm feeling a bit gay today
That hat is soooo gay

[stephenh500]

maybe gay abandon was his co pilot lol

[9928ZK]

means something like 'without a care'

Correct

[Neil Fletcher]

Or as you guys say over there, "drivin it like he stole it".

All the best, Neil.
