How boring. When I saw the name Monty in the title I assumed it would be about Sir Bernard Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein. He was the real Monty. Reply to this message | Report message

>> At least we now know who drives 7-series ... >> Correction he used to drive a 7 seties - it is now a 3 wheeler. For donkeys years he was given a Lexus LS by Toyota, golf has gone downhill and so has the car (IMHO) Reply to this message | Report message

I thought it was the other Monty as well, knew he had a Humber but didn't think he' drive a Beemer unless it Rommel's captured one. Reply to this message | Report message

If you mean the car that was shot up by Squadron Leader Le Roux of 602 Squadron flying a Spitfire Mk 9 on the morning on the 17th July 1944, I think it was a Mercedes 770K Reply to this message | Report message

He was - if he'd been listened to there would have been different outcomes. He was a better tactician and manager than Monty who at best was a self centred, opinionated, egotistic megalomaniac who cost countless lives in stupid follies. Reply to this message | Report message

Yes The allies would never probably have made it ashore on D-Day, and if they had would have been contained and thrust back. Anyway, back on track, Monties beemer looks like it was shop up by a spit. Last edited by: Zero on Thu 21 Oct 10 at 20:45 Reply to this message | Report message

>> At least we now know who drives 7-series ... If asked whether I play golf, I sometimes say "Not at the moment, but I may take it up when I'm rather older". Same for the car? Reply to this message | Report message

Now why have they obscured Monty's number but not the number on the van? Surely should be equal treatment. Reply to this message | Report message

According to one of today's papers the van driver has been charged with some motoring offences. Looks like Montgomery's driving was OK. He has a good few points on the licence for speeding. He was banned but this was quashed after Mr Loophole appeared @ appeal against a 6 month totting up ban - last conviction was deemed unsafe due to radar gun not being used properly!!
