      Dublin is in Ireland, not Great Britain. There was a whole kerfuffle about it.

        Not to be that guy. But Great Britain refers to mainline England, Scotland, Wales. The term you’re looking for is the United Kingdom.

          The original post said “name a place in Britain”

            Britain is the geographical location. The United Kingdom is the country.

            Hence the full name of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

        Oh, of course…but why the car? Because there’s a car bomb, IRA-style?
