Summary

This quote is a sarcastic joke implying that an Irishman (stereotypically known for their wit and cunning) reversed their car into a flea market and managed to sell the car's engine instead of the usual practice of purchasing items. The humor lies in the absurdity of the situation, as one would typically sell or buy smaller household items at a boot sale, not engine parts. It plays on the stereotype of Irish cleverness and resourcefulness, adding a humorous twist to a mundane scenario.
