Who am I XIV?

[FB]

I have been awarded the OBE for services to motor sport

 

[Brogan]

Sir Frank Williams?

 

[FB]

Sorry Bro, not FW.

 

[Brogan]

Didn't think it would be that easy

 

[cider_and_toast]

John Watson?

(If he hasn't then he blooming well should have one!!! Let's start a campaign !!!)

 

[GeoffP]

Congrats FB, I've thought for some time you had been sorely overlooked

Murray Walker?

 

[FB]

If only FnF - maybe services to Mars Bars Back to the quiz, good guesses but not Muddly or John Whatswrong.

Clue 2 - I was criticised in my home country when I became a tax exile and moved to Switzerland.

 

[Brogan]

Lewis Hamilton?

 

[FB]

Now your just being bitchy Bro so you're not allowed another guess until I post the next clue :razz: Anyway, Lewis got an MBE :razz:

 

[cider_and_toast]

It's not John Surtees is it? I seem to remember reading somewhere that he lived in Switzerland. Maybe it was during his time at Ferrari??

 

[Brogan]

Now your just being bitchy Bro

so you're not allowed another guess until I post the next clue :razz:

Them's the rules anyway, 1 guess per clue.

Anyway, Lewis got an MBE :razz:

I honestly thought it might be him, I never realised he had an MBE and not an OBE, honest

 

[GeoffP]

As I was taught when younger:

MBE - My Bloody Effort

OBE - Other Bugger's Effort

 

[FB]

Surtees may well have lived in Switzerland but that's not who I have in mind C_A_T.

FnF

 

[GeoffP]

Could it be Damon Hill, I know he' s OBE, I know it could be motor sport, but Switzerland doesn't ring bells...

 

[FB]

I think Damon still lives in the UK. Anyway 'taint Damon.

 

[FB]

Just to keep things moving along, here's clue 3 - Although a European I am of Armenian descent.

 

[teabagyokel]

As I was taught when younger:

MBE - My Bloody Effort

OBE - Other Bugger's Effort

Is now the time to mention Brian Clough OBE (Old Big 'Ead)?

Nige Mansell?

 

[FB]

Not Nigel.

Clue 4 - Denis Jenkinson said of this driver "a very warm and uncomplicated man who doesn't rely on passion or inspiration. Nor does he indulge in showmanship or bullsh#t. He is capable of a level of mental discipline beyond the comprehension of most people"

 

[cider_and_toast]

I've just had a thought. It's not Michael Schumacher is it?

I noticed with one of the clues you said European with Armenian decent instead of British with armenian decent. I know Schuey lives in Switzerland and honours from the queen aren't restricted to British citizens all though they are honoury abroad.

 

[FB]

Not MS I'm afraid C_A_T but you are thinking along the right lines.
