PrintColin Montgomerie was involved in an automobile accident this morning in Scotland. His BMW sedan was ravaged by a van of some kind. Monty was sponsored by Lexus for many years, but drives a Beamer.
Montgomerie had some cuts and scrapes, while the van driver was taken to a local hospital for precautionary measures, according to STV.

Sounds like Monty is lucky. A human being trapped between two romantically involved vehicles can be seriously injured.
What does Monty’s former endorsement deal have to do with what kind of car he was driving ?

OK Court...here's yur chance...
you sure aren’t goona let ol Ryan get away with this sort of sick writing….Just how the hell does a BMW get ‘RAVAGED BY A VAN OF SOME SORT" ????….Now a beautiful long limbed loverly…that I can see….But a car ? Common Ryan…jist cause yur leavin us….don’t leave on these kinds of postings….GAWD A MIGHTY….STUB
Drivers of white vans
are automatically guilty over here of all & every driving offence. (With good reason IMO). They would obviously have no qualms about “ravaging” any other vehicle – possibly magnetically attracted to BMWs?
I thought it was Gypsies that were guilty of everything
…seems that’s what I heard over and over again last time in Swindon. That it was gypsies driving caravans that were causing utter mayhem on the motorways.
Well, that and the French.

I had to google to find out
as I have never come across a gypsy caravan on a motorway in all my um …21 yrs. Swindon does appear to have an unusually high no. of both authorised and unathorised gypsy encampments with the M4 close by.
No, I’ll stick to the more popular " White Van Driver is to blame for everything" theory.
Well, that and the French.
Now jist a dang minute here....
Your under appreciated, over worked Hubby tol me his self, he’s a good driver and you’n is the one who needs lesson renewals ever now and than….STUB
He's aggressive, rude & impatient
when behind a car wheel. Every car has to be overtaken. His language is unbelievable. Of course HE says he’s good driver. It’s just that everyone else on the road is a blithering idiot.
Other than that, he is indeed a delightful man.
Tell Him To Stop Channeling Jeremy Clarkson
….and to take after Captain Slow, James May.
That and only drive the Koenigsegg CCX on Sundays. It’s easier to take over the grandmothers on their way home from services.

He does have far more couth
than our Jeremy, but “Bloody Sunday driver” is indeed one of his favourite remarks (said 7 days a week obviously).
Swindon Does Have It's Share
…maybe the gypsies are drawn to the Magic Roundabout? :-)

just so Americans can see what I am talking about
…the Magic Roundabout

Ok – I get the roundabout part – but what are the little swirlies where each road comes in and goes out ?
Does that thing influence the tides ? (lol)
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Court, those are roundabouts for the roundabout. Say you want to to take the first left. You can do it pretty easily on one of the smaller ones without going on the large circle.
The one in Swindon is one of the world’s largest, but by no means is it the busiest. The one at the Arc de Triomphe on Champs D’Elysee in Paris is far larger circumferentially and is massively busier. First time on it — when I was 19 — I did five laps because I found myself stuck in an inner lane.
The Swindon one was easy save for me being on the “wrong” side of the car and going in the “wrong” direction from what I am used to here. It takes a day or so to get used to driving on the right side of the car (fifth gear is especially challenging, you’re shifting with your left hand) and on the left side of the road.
