    Humm, if only we knew which newspaper that article appeared in and maybe then we might be able to find some contact details and someone who is interested in being pedantic might then send some correspondence. If only we could do such a thing. :rolleyes:

    Stab in the dark.

    Not too happy that I corrected one of your other posts son?

    Which post was that? I'm generally happy to admit when I'm wrong and have done so several times on this forum.

    And I'm far from your "son".

    Check your post history and you'll see what I mean.

    And I don't mean "son" in the offspring sense.

    Given that the Beemers were LHD and were used for the Obama visit as well as the Queen, I'd have thought they were going back to Munich instead of the UK, as stated in the article.

    I wonder is there any way to challenge the paper to ask why they have wriiten that. What their source is.

    I don't think this is a detail to condemn the article. There could be any number of reasons - perhaps the vehicles being specialist in nature are only available in LHD (or LHD is more commonly available) and as far as I know BMW Ireland reports through BMW UK so it's likely the vehicles would go back there.

    Please don't use this term if the person is not your biological son. Because forums can't convey tone of voice, it can be read as being condescending and aloof.

    Thanks, and back on topic.

    Exactly. And I think there is a curiosity as to why the vehicles would be registered here for a short period of times. I can understand the BMWs but the Queens Rangerover?

    It's no biggie but people are always curious about these little oddities.

    Could it have something to do with diplomatic status? Only guessing mind. Is there a requirement that CD cars have local reg plates assigned to the embassy for example?
