It was really good to meet some more of you folk in the MMOC Area last Sunday, and what a great collection of cars all across the park ....not just in "our" area.. Thanks again SimonH for some more tech info re my Monty too.
The same goes for the folk in the AROnline area. Loads more information, history and banter available there for sure! It was also nice to get 3 "ordinary" Montys parked together over there: 2 near identical 1.6 LX's - one mine - and a 2.0 HL (pics below)
...AND .... hands up who's a very proud Monty owner today. Well, MY hand has shot up.....!
Those lovely chaps Keith Adams and Mike Humble chose my 1991 Monty 1.6LX as their AROnline "Car of the Month"!

TBH the award was a bit of a shock as, sadly, circumstance change means I will probably be selling her. But on a positive note there's interest from a mad enthusiast with loads more Monty knowledge than I'll ever remember and (Mike tells me ) promises would continue the TLC that she deserves!
But even if she goes, I'll be back at this BL/BMC event next year. The atmosphere seemed "friendlier" than (eg) the Bromley Pageant and Knebworth events I used to attend with my old Triumphs. Or perhaps I was just grumpier then!
For those that haven't been to BL/BMC before ..... it's a great day out if you can get there. The BL focus of the Autojumble was especially good....even if I did spend more than anticipated
Anyway, I think l'll go clean my Monty again tomorrow.. she deserves it!

Cheers f'now, all
